Intro: Gb Ebm -2x-
 
Verse 1:
Gb
I can see you standing, honey
Ebm
With his arms around your body
Gb                                     Ebm
Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
Gb
And it took you five whole minutes
Ebm
To pack us up and leave me with it
Gb                                      Ebm
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
 
Chorus:
B            Db               Ebm
I think I've seen this film before
      Db
And I didn't like the ending
B             Db          Ebm
You're not my homeland anymore
   Db                  B
So what am I defending now?
            Db               Ebm               Gb
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
B              Db               Ebm
  I think I've seen this film before
Gb   Ebm  Gb Ebm
Ooh, ooh, ooh
 
Verse 2:
Gb
I can see you starin', honey
Ebm
Like he's just your understudy
Gb                                      Ebm
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Gb
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Ebm
Balancin' on breaking branches
Gb                           Ebm
Those eyes add insult to injury
 
Chorus: Taylor Swift:
B            Db               Ebm
I think I've seen this film before
      Db
And I didn't like the ending
B            Db         Ebm
I'm not your problem anymore
   Db                 B
So who am I offending now?
            Db                Ebm               Gb
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
B              Db               Ebm
  I think I've seen this film before
                       Db        Gb
So I'm leaving out the side door
 
Bridge:
              Ebm               Db
So step right out, there is no amount
          B
Of crying I can do for you
         Gb
All this time
                             Ebm
We always walked a very thin line
                        Db
You didn't even hear me out -You didn't even hear me out-
                         B
You never gave a warning sign -I gave so many signs-
         Gb
All this time
                             Ebm
I never learned to read your mind -Never learned to read my mind-
                        Db
I couldn't turn things around -You never turned things around-
                                B
'Cause you never gave a warning sign -I gave so many signs-
Gb           Ebm       Db
So many signs, so many signs
                        B
You didn't even see the signs
 
Chorus:
B            Db               Ebm
I think I've seen this film before
      Db
And I didn't like the ending
B             Db          Ebm
You're not my homeland anymore
   Db                  B
So what am I defending now?
            Db               Ebm               Gb
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
B              Db               Ebm
  I think I've seen this film before
                       Db       Gb
So I'm leavin' out the side door
