The 1

By Taylor Swift

Key of C

[Intro]
F C (4x)

[Verse]
F           C
  I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
F             C
  Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
F             C/E
  I thought I saw you at the bus stop
  F             C
I didn't though
F           C/E
  I hit the ground running each night
F           C/E
  I hit the Sunday matinée
Dm7            C
  You know the greatest films of all time
     Dm7        C
Were never made

[Pre-Chorus]
F             C
  I guess you never know, never know
F            C
  And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
F            C
  And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow
F            C
  And it's alright now

[Chorus]
Am            C
  But we were something, don't you think so?
F         C/E
  Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
Dm7         C
  And if my wishes came true
Dm7  C
  It would've been you
Am   C/G
  In my defense, I have none
F     C/E
  For never leaving well enough alone
Dm7      C
  But it would've been fun
Dm7      C
  If you would've been the one
F   C
      (Ooh)
F   C

[Verse]
F     C
      I had this dream you're doing cool shit
F     C
   Having adventures on your own
F     C                                     F      C
  You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
Dm7  C                             F
  We never painted by the numbers, baby
    C/E
But we were making it count
Dm7   C                                        F        C
  You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

[Pre-Chorus]
F   C
  I guess you never know, never know
F     C
  And it's another day waking up alone

[Chorus]
Am    C
  But we were something, don't you think so?
F   C/E                                     Dm7
   Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
    C
And if my wishes came true
Dm7 C
       It would've been you
Am  C/G
       In my defense, I have none
F   C/E                                Dm7
       For never leaving well enough alone
C
But it would've been fun
Dm7 C
    If you would've been the one

[Bridge]
Am   C/G      F              C/E
   I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
   Dm7                C
If one thing had been  different
      Dm7          C
Would everything be  different today?

[Chorus]
Am         C/G
   We were something, don't you think so?
F   C/E                              Dm7
   Rosé flowing with your chosen family
C
And it would've been sweet
Dm7 C
    If it could've been me
Am  C/G
       In my defense, I have none
F   C/E                                 Dm7
       For digging up the grave another time
C
But it would've been fun
Dm7 C
    If you would've been the one
Dm7 C
      (Ooh)
Dm7 C
