These are But Daddy I Love Him chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
E
I forget how the
West was won
B
I forget if this
was ever fun
C#m
I just learned these
A
people only raise you
to cage you
E
Sarahs and Hannahs in
E
their Sunday best
B
Clutching their pearls,
sighing "what a mess"
C#m
I just learned these
A
people try and save you
'cause they hate you
[Pre-Chorus]
E A
Too high a horse for a
E B
simple girl to rise above
it
E A
They slammed the door on
E
my whole world
B
The one thing I wanted

[Chorus]
E
And I'm running with
my dress unbuttoned
A
Screaming, "But Daddy,
I love him
B
I'm having his baby
A
No I'm not but you should
see your faces"
E
I'm telling him to floor
it through the fences
A
No, I'm not coming
to my senses
B
I know he's crazy,
A
but he's the one I want
[Verse 2]
E
Dutiful daughter,
all my plans were laid
B
Tendrils tucked into
a woven braid
C#m
Growing up precocious
sometimes means
A
Not growing up at all
E
He was chaos,
he was revelry
B
Bedroom eyes like a remedy
C#m
Soon enough, the elders
A
had convened down
at the city hall
[Pre-Chorus]
E A
"Stay away from her,"
E
the saboteurs protested
B
too much
E A
Lord knows the words
E
we never heard
Just screeching tires
B
and true love
[Chorus]
E
And I'm running with
my dress unbuttoned
A
Screaming, "But Daddy,
I love him
B
I'm having his baby
A
No I'm not but you
should see your faces"
E
I'm telling him to floor
it through the fences
A
No, I'm not coming
to my senses
B
I know he's crazy,
A
but he's the one I want
[Bridge]
E
I'll tell you something
B
right now
I'd rather burn my
C#m
whole life down
Than listen to one
A
more second
of all this bitching
and moaning
E
I'll tell you something
B
about my good name
C#m
It's mine alone to disgrace
I don't care to all these
A
vipers dressed in emperor's
clothing
C#m A
God save the most judgemental
creeps
Who say they want what's
B
best for me
Sanctimoniously performing
C#m
soliloquies I'll never see
A
Thinking it can change the beat
B
Of my heart when he touches
me and counteract the
chemistry
E B
And undo the destiny
C#m
You ain't gotta pray for me
A
He's my wild boy and
I'm his wild joy
E B C#m
If all you want is grey
for me
A
Then it's just white noise,
this is my choice
[Pre-Chorus]
E
There's a lot of people
in town that I
B
Bestow upon my fakest smiles
C#m
Scandal does funny things
A
to pry but brings lovers
closer
E
We came back when the
heat died down
B
Went to my parents and
they came around
C#m
All the wine moms are
still holding out
A
But fck 'em, it's over
[Chorus]
E
And I'm dancing in
my dress in the sun
A
And even my daddy
just loves him
B
I'm his lady
A
And oh my god you should
see your faces
E
Time, doesn't it give
some perspective?
A
I know you can't come
to the wedding
B
I know he's crazy,
A
but he's the one I want
[Outro]
E
I'll tell you something
B
right now
C#m
You ain't gotta pray
for me
A
He's my wild boy, and
I'm his wild joy
E
(He was chaos,
B
he was revelry)
If all you want is
C#m
grey for me
A
Thatt's just white noise,
it's my choice
E B
Screaming, "But Daddy,
C#m
I love him
A
I'm having his baby
E B
No I'm not but you
C#m
should see your faces"
A
But oh my god you should
see your faces
E B C#m A
