Wouldve Couldve Shouldve Chords by Taylor Swift

[Intro]
Am Em G D
 
[Verse 1]
Am              Em
If you would've blinked then I would've
G       D
Looked away at the first glance
Am            Em
If you tasted poison, you could've
G       D
Spit me out at the first chance
Am               Em
And if I was some paint, did it splatter
G    D
On a promising grown man?
Am             Em
And if I was a child did it matter
G      D
If you got to wash your hands?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am   Em   G    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray
Am                  G
Would've, could've, should've
D
If you'd never looked my way
 
[Chorus]
C                       D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am                       Em
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
C      G
At nineteen
        Am                             Em
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
C                G                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         Em
Memories feel like weapons
C              G                  Am      Em
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Verse 2]
Am           Em
If you never touched me, I would've
G     D
Gone along with the righteous
Am         Em
If I never blushed, then they could've
G     D
Never whispered about this
Am               Em
And if you never saved me from boredom
G          D
I could've gone on as I was
Am                     Em
But, Lord, you made me feel important
G            D
And then you tried to erase us
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am   Em   G    D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're a crisis of my faith
Am                  G
Would've, could've, should've
D
If I'd only played it safe
 
[Chorus]
C                       D
I would've stayed on my knees
      Am                       Em
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
C      G
At nineteen
        Am                             Em
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
C                G                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         Em
Memories feel like weapons
C              G                  Am      Em
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Bridge]
    Am
God rest my soul
  Em
I miss who I used to be
    G
The tomb won't close
D                           C
Stained glass windows in my mind
G                    C
I regret you all the time
        Am
I can't let this go
  Em
I fight with you in my sleep
    G
The wound won't close
  D                     C
I keep on waiting for a sign
G                    C
I regret you all the time
 
[Verse 3]
   Em           D               C
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Em           D               C
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Am             D                 G
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Am           D               C
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
 
[Chorus]
      Am                       Em
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
C      G
At nineteen
        Am                             Em
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
C                G                    Am
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
         Em
Memories feel like weapons
C              G                  Am      Em
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
 
[Outro]
    Am
God rest my soul
  Em
I miss who I used to be
    G
The tomb won't close
D                           C
Stained glass windows in my mind
G                    C
I regret you all the time
        Am
I can't let this go
  Em
I fight with you in my sleep
    G
The wound won't close
  D                     C
I keep on waiting for a sign
G                    C
I regret you all the time
         G
Oh, God, rest my soul
  D
I miss who I used to be
    C
The tomb won't close
Em                          G
Stained glass windows in my mind
D                    C
I regret you all the time
        G
I can't let this go
  D
I fight with you in my sleep
    C
The wound won't close
Em                      G
I keep on waiting for a sign
D                    C
I regret you all the time
