I'm lucky enough to be able to sing a Taylor Swift song for you guys today.
Tonight?
Today?
Today.
Taylor played me a few of her songs off her new record in her apartment.
And we danced around and drank wine.
And had pillow fights, yes.
[C]
And this one song was just so [F] beautiful that I begged her [G] to send it to me and she said no.
I said please and she said no.
And so as soon as it came out I listened to it over and over again.
And [E] I just think it shows such depth of writing [G] that Taylor has shown in this new record.
So this is Clean.
[C]
[G] [G]
[F] [C]
[Em] [F]

Back and [G] forth.
[C] Oh, you're still all over [G] me.
Like a wine stain dress [C] I can't wear anymore.
[G] I hung my head [C] as I lost the war.
And the [F] sky turned black like a [C] perfect storm.
The rain came pouring [G] down when I was [F] drowning.
That's when I could finally [C] breathe.
And that morning [G] gone was any trace of [F] you.
I think I can [C] finally breathe.
And I think I am finally [G] clean.
[D] I think I am [C] finally clean.
[G]
[Am] [C]
There was [G] nothing left to [Am]
do.
[C] Oh, when the [G] butterflies turned [Am] to dust they [C] covered my whole room.
[G] So I punched a hole [Am] in the roof.
[F] Oh, [C]
let the [G] flood carry [Am] away all my [C] pictures of you.
[F] The water filled [C] my lungs I screamed so [F] loud.
But no [G] one heard a thing.
The rain came pouring down [Am] when I was drowning.
[F] That's when I could finally [C] breathe.
And that [G]
morning [Am] gone was [F] any trace of you.
I think I am [C] finally clean.
[G] I think I am [Am] finally clean.
[F] I think I am finally [C] clean.
[G] [Am] [F]
[C] 10 months sober I must admit [E] just because you're clean
[G] don't mean you don't miss it.
[C] 10 months older [Em] I won't give in.
[Fm] Now that I'm clean I'm never going to risk it.
[C]
[G] The drought was the very [Am] worst.
[F] [C] And the flowers that [Am] we'd grown together [C] died of thirst.
And the rain [G] came pouring [Am] down when I was drowning.
[F] That's when I could finally [C] breathe.
And that [G] morning [Am] gone was any trace of [F] you.
I think I am [C] finally clean.
