Forever Winter (Taylor’s Version)

Intro -x4-: C  G D 

Verse 1:
C                          G                D
He says he doesn’t believe anything much he hears these days
C                           G                        D
He says, “Why fall in love, just so you can watch it go away?”
C                            G                     D
He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be
C                             G                      D
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
C      G             D
I call just checking up on him
C        G   D
He’s up, 3am pacing
C                  G      D
He says, “It’s not just a phase I’m in”
C        D
My voice comes out begging

Chorus:
Em         C            D
 All this time I didn’t know
                     C
You were breaking down
            Em             D
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
                      C
If you weren’t around
             D
Too young to know it gets better
G       D          Em
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
C           Em        D
Forever winter if you go…

Interlude -x2-: C  G D

Verse 2:
C
He seems fine most of the time
G                  D
Forcing smiles and never minds
C
His laugh is a symphony
G                           D
When the lights go out it’s hard to breathe
C                      G                           D
I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head
C                            G               D
Live my life scared to death he’ll decide to leave instead
C      G             D
I call just checking up on him
C        G   D
He’s up, 5am wasted
C          G        D
Long gone, not even listening
C        D
My voice comes out screaming

Chorus:
Em         C            D
 All this time I didn’t know
                     C
You were breaking down
            Em             D
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
                      C
If you weren’t around
             D
Too young to know it gets better
G       D          Em
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
C           Em        D
Forever winter if you go…

Interlude -x2-: C  Em D

Verse 3:
C                     Em         D
If I was standing there in your apartment
C                              Em      D
I’d take that bomb in your head and disarm it
C                     Em         D
I’d say I love you even at your darkest and
C            D    Em
Please don’t go

Chorus:
C          D
I didn’t know
                     C
You were breaking down
            Em              D
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
                  C
If you weren’t around
                D
Too young to know it gets better
G       D       Em
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
C        Em            D
 Forever winter if you go…

Interlude -x2-: C  Em D

Bridge:
                        C
I’ll be your summer sun forever
   Em         D
At 3am pacing
                       C
All this time I didn’t know
   Em         D
At 5am wasted
                        C
I’d be in pieces on the floor
        Em            D
Forever winter if you go...

Outro:
C                          G                D
He says he doesn’t believe anything much he hears these days
C                            G        D
I say, “Believe in one thing, I won’t go away”
