Chords for Taylor performs "Blank Space" at The GRAMMY Museum

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So I wanted to start with a song that I wrote actually as kind of a response to
in the last couple of years the media have had a really wonderful fixation on
kind of painting me as like the psycho serial dater girl. _
[G] It's been awesome.
I loved it.
_ [N] _ _
And they're like you know it was it got pretty out of control there
for a couple of years because it would be like every article was like Taylor
Swift standing near some guy.
Watch out guy.
_ _ _ You _
[B] know [N] every single article was
kind of like had these descriptions of my personality that were very different
from the actual personality and the first my first reaction was to be like
no that's a bummer.
This isn't fun for me.
But then my second reaction ended up
being like _ hey that's actually kind of a really interesting character they're
writing about.
Like she jet sets around the world collecting men and then and
she can get any of them and then but she's so clingy that they leave and she
cries and and then she gets another one in her web and she traps them and locks
them in her mansion and then she's crying in her marble bathtub surrounded
by pearls.
_ So I was like I was like I can use this.
This is called blank [Db] space. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] So hey [Db] let's be friends.
Dying to see how this one ends.
[Ab] Grab your passport and my hand.
I can make the bad guys good for [Db] a weekend.
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down [Bbm] in flames.
You can tell me when it's over.
If the high was worth [Ebm] the pain.
I've got a long list of ex lovers.
They'll tell you I'm [Gb] insane.
Cause you know I love [Ab] the players and you love [Db] the game.
Cause we're young we're reckless.
We'll take this way too [Bbm] far.
It'll leave you breathless.
Oh with a nasty [Ebm] scar.
Got a long list of ex lovers.
They'll tell you I'm [Gb] insane.
But I've got a blank space baby.
[Db] And I'll write your name.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Cherry lips, crystal skies.
I could show you incredible [Bbm] things.
Stolen kisses, pretty lies.
You're the king baby [Db] I'm your queen.
Find out what you want.
Be that girl for a month.
Wait the worst [Ab] is yet to come.
_ [Db] Oh no.
Screaming, crying, perfect storms.
I can make all [Bbm] the tables turn.
Rose garden filled with thorns.
Keep your second guessing like [Dbm] oh my god who is she?
I get drunk on [Ab] jealousy.
But you'll come back each time you leave.
[Bbm] Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like [Db] a daydream.
So it's gonna be forever.
Or it's gonna go [Ab] down in [Bbm] flames.
You can tell me when it's over.
If the high was worth the [Ebm] pain.
Got a long list of ex lovers.
They'll tell you I'm [Gb] insane.
Cause you know I love the [Ab] players and you love [Db] the game.
Cause we're young we're reckless.
We'll take this [Ab] way too [Bbm] far.
It'll leave you breathless or with a nasty [Ebm] scar.
Got a long list of ex lovers.
They'll tell you I'm [Gb] insane.
But I've got a blank space baby.
[Db] And I'll write your name.
