The Albatross Chords Taylor Swift

Bm       A
Wise man once said
 G              A
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
  Bm      A   G     A
A rose by any other name is a scandal
Bm       A       G
Cautions issued, he stood
A
Shooting the messengers
Bm            A         G        A
They tried to warn him about her


D           A
 Cross your thoughtless heart
Bm    G
 Only liquor anoints you
D          A
 She's the albatross
Bm      G
 She is here to destroy you


 Bm       A
 Wise man once said
 G       A
"One bad seed kills the garden"
 Bm       A          G        A
"One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"
Bm        A     G
Locked me up in towers
        A
But I'd visit in your dreams
Bm                 A          G      A
 And they tried to warn you about me


D           A
 Cross your thoughtless heart
Bm    G
 Only liquor anoints you
D          A
 She's the albatross
Bm      G
 She is here to destroy you
D       A
 Devils that you know
Bm           G
 Raise worse hell than a stranger
D          A
 She's the death you chose
Bm         G
 You're in terrible danger


Em G               D         A     Em
     And when that sky rains fire on you
G              D        A
 And you're persona non grata
Em G               D        A         Em
     I'll tell you how I've been there too
G         D          A
 And that none of it matters


 Bm       A         G
 Wise men once read fake news
 A
 And they believed it
 Bm      A            G
 Jackals raised their hackles
     A
 You couldn't conceive it
 Bm       A        G                 A                     Bm
 You were sleeping soundly when they dragged you from your bed
                A           G      A
 And I tried to warn you about them


D     A
 So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Bm         G
 Spread my wings like a parachute
D        A
 I'm the albatross
Bm       G
 I swept in at the rescue
D          A
 The devil that you know
Bm         G
 Looks now more like an angel
D        A
 I'm the life you chose
Bm            G             
 And all this terrible danger


Instru | D A | Bm G |
       | D A | Bm G |


D              A               Bm G
 So cross your thoughtless heart
D          A
 She's the albatross
Bm      G
 She is here to destroy you
