This is how I saw Taylor Swift played it on the VMA 2010 (well, even though
she didn't play the entire song on guitar I had to figure out the
bridge ... hopefully, it sounds right to you because it does
to me, I think! I wouldn't say that this is 100% correct but you get
the idea of how to play this song on guitar. Message me if you
find out how to REALLY play it, the way TSwift plays it, I mean.
*Live Version: Standard Tuning
Studio Version: Capo 1st fret
About the chords. You see, I taught myself how to play and
I don't really know the name of all of the chords. So, I'll provide
you the fingering.

C#m Ebm Em Asus
Guess you really did it this time
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Left yourself in your war path
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Lost your balance on a tight rope
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Lost your mind trying to get it back
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
C#m Ebm Em Asus
And everybody believed in you
E
It's alright, just wait and see (oh)
B
Your string of lights is still bright to me
C#m
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
Asus
You're still an innocent
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Still an innocent

Did some things you can't speak of
C#m Ebm Em Asus
But tonight you live it all again
C#m Ebm Em Asus
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
C#m Ebm Em Asus
If only you had seen what you know now then
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Wasn't it easier in your firefly catching days
C#m Ebm Em Asus
When everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep
C#m Ebm Em Asus
Before the monsters caught up to you
E
It's alright, just wait and see (oh)
B
Your string of lights is still bright to me
C#m
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
Asus
You're still an innocent
E
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
B
Thirty two and still growing up now
C#m
Who you are is not what you did
Asus
You're still an innocent
C#m
Time turns flames to embers
B
You'll have new Septembers

Every one of us has messed up too (oooooh oh oh)

Minds change like the weather

I hope you remember
Asus (pause) C#m Ebm Em Asus
Today is never too late to.. be brand new.

It's alright, just wait and see (oh)

Oh, who you are is not where you've been
Asus
You're still an innocent
