Taylor Swift - Mine Chords & Review

While I'm really into rock n roll and all things alternative, I love some silly pop sensations. Taylor Swift is an upstanding young star who writes her own songs, stays out of the LiLo limelight and seems to be a genuine and age appropriate role model for teenage girls. I love her cute romance-y lyrics that aren't so porus that just anyone could write them. She gives Ke$ha, Miley, etc. a run for their money because she's got serious talent and grace.

 

This song is only challenging in the strum pattern at the bits where Em is. Otherwise, it's pretty much a simple four count. The song sounds great acoustic; Here's a video that inspired me to learn it and the chords that were pretty simple to figure out from it. Tyler Ward and Julia Sheer cover dozens of pop songs on YouTube and they sound GREAT.

C G C G
O-o-o-ooh (x2)

                             C                                     D                        C   

You were in college working part-time, waiting tables

                                                         D                               C

Left a small town, never looked back

                                                          D                              C

I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling

                                                                          D                          C

Wondering why we'd bother with love, if it never lasts

                                                  D                           C

I say can you believe it

                                              G                            C

As we're lying on the couch

                                                     D                       C

The moment I can see it yes, yes

                                                     D

I can see it now

                        C                                            G

Do you remember when we were sitting there by the water

                                 D                                  Em

You put your arm around me for the first time

                            C                                   G

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

                                  D                               Em                    C

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Second Verse: Repeat C-D like First Verse

Fast forward and we're taking on the world togetherAnd there's a drawer of my things at your placeYou learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guardedYou say we'll never make my parent's mistakes 

                                            C     D                          C

We got bills to pay

                                              D                                C

We got nothing figured out

                                         D                                    C

When it was hard to take yes, yes

                                             D

This is what I thought about Repeat Chorus (x2)Do you remember when we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mineDo you remember all the city lights on the waterYou saw I started to believe for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine

                                        Em                                    C

And I remember that fight 2:30 am

                                        D

You said everything was slipping out of our hands

                               Em                        C                                   D                          

I went out crying and you followed me out to the streets

                                             C            D                        C

Braced myself for a goodbye

                                                             D                      C

Cause it's all i've ever known

                                                      D                        C

And you took me by surprise

                                                      D                              C  

You said 'I'll never leave you alone'
Repeat Chorus ChordsYou saidI remember how we felt sitting by the waterAnd everytime I look at you it's like the first timeI fell in love with acareless man's careful daughterShe is the best thing that's ever been mine

                                                  C           G

Hold on Make it last

                                                D           Em  

Hold on Never turn back You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Yeah, do you believe it?Gonna make it lastAnd I can see itI can see it now The bolded verse are my favorite lyrics in the song. At 21, I STILL feel like this with my beau. It's an ageless, timeless sort of song. That's how she's so popular. I guess my affinity for all things folk gives her an edge in my book too because her lyrics are not too country but have an adorable folk twang regardless. I was blasting it on 102.7 Kiis fm yesterday, my dad looking at me like I'm CRAZY. Elsa told me her new album is due out in October.

If you wanna hear another song of hers I highly recommend White Horse.
