Blank Space by Taylor Swift was inspired by the medias misconceptions about her personal life and the way people judge her romantic relationships. Swift created a satirical persona for the song, playing with the idea that she could be seen as someone who loves love games and has a long list of ex-lovers.
STANDARD TUNING w/ CAPO ON 3
Nice to meet you where you been I can show you incredible things Magic, madness, heaven sin Oh my God, look at that face You look like my next mistake Love’s a game, want to plaaaaay? New money, suit and tie I can read you like a magazine Ain't it funny rumors fly Me so hey, lets be friends I'm dying to see how this one ends Grab your passport and my hand I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over mmm If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane Cause you know I love the players and you love the game Cause we're young and we're reckless We'll take this way too far It'll leave you breathless, mmm Or with a nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies I could show you incredible things Stolen kisses, pretty lies You're the king baby I'm your queen Find out what you want Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no Screaming crying perfect storms I can make all the tables turn Rose garden filled with thorns Like "Oh my God who is she?" I get drunk on jealousy But you'll come back each time you leave Cause darlin' I'm a nightmare, dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over, mm If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane Cause you know I love the players and you love the game Cause we're young and we're reckless We'll take this way too far It'll leave you breathless, mmm Or with a nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane (insane) But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you Boys only want love if it's torture Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over mmm If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane Cause you know I love the players and you love the game Cause we're young and we're reckless We'll take this way too far It'll leave you breathless, mmm Or with a nasty scar Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name www.liveloveguitar.com
