Begin Again

Begin Again is about starting over after a bad relationship. Taylor Swift wrote this song inspired by her own experience of going on a date with someone who made her feel special and appreciated again, contrasting with a past relationship where she didnt feel valued. The song was released following a media-covered breakup and is seen as an anthem of hope and renewal.

 G 
Took a deep breath in the mirror
 G                                          C 
He didn&rsquo t like it when I wore high heels, but I do
 G/B 
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
 G                                       C 
He always said he didn&rsquo t get this song but I do, I do

 G 
Walked in expecting you&rsquo d be late
 G 
But you got here early
 G 
And you stand and wait
   C 
I walk to you
 G/B 
You pulled my chair out and helped me in
 G/B 
And you don&rsquo t know how nice that is
      C 
But I do

 C                                             D 
And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
 Em7                                                   G 
I think it&rsquo s strange that you think I&rsquo m funny &lsquo cause he never did
 C                                     D 
I&rsquo ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
    G          D/F#      Em 
Is break and burn and end
 C                           D                         G 
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

 G 
You said you never met one girl who
 G 
Has as many James Taylor records as you
 C 
But I do
 G/B 
We tell stories and you don&rsquo t know why I&rsquo m coming off a little shy
 C 
But I do

 C                                             D 
But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
 Em7                                             G 
I think it&rsquo s strange that you think I&rsquo m funny &lsquo cause he never did
 C                                     D 
I&rsquo ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
    G          D/F#      Em 
Is break and burn and end
 C                           D 
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

 C 
And we walk down the block to my car
 D/F# 
And I almost brought him up
 C 
But you start to talk about
 D 
The movies that your family watches
 C 
Every single Christmas
 D 
And I won&rsquo t talk about that
 C 
For the first time, what&rsquo s past is past

 C                                                D 
&lsquo Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
 Em7                                             G 
I think it&rsquo s strange that you think I&rsquo m funny &lsquo cause he never did
 C                                     D 
I&rsquo ve been spending the last 8 months thinking all love ever does
    G          D/F#      Em 
Is break and burn and end
 C                            D 
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

 C                            D 
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again
