[Verse 1]
F#          C#
No words appear before me
        G#m       B
 in the aftermath
F#            C#
Salt streams out my eyes
              G#m B
and into my ears
F#                    C#
Every single thing I touch becomes
             G#m    B
 sick with sadness
             F#
Because it's all over now,
 C#         G#m  B
 all out to see

[Chorus]
F#                       C#
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
          G#m
You were bigger than the whole sky
                                    B
You were more than just a short time
F#                              C#
And I've got a lot to pine about
                            G#m
I've got a lot to live without
                          B
I'm never gonna meet what could've
 been, would've been
                    F#  C#
What should've been you
What could've been,
               G#m  B
would've been you
F# C# G#m B

[Verse 2]
F#             C#
Did some bird flap its wings
         G#m   B
 over in Asia?
F#              C#
Did some force take you because
          G#m   B
I didn't pray?
F#                     C#
Every single thing to come
                  G#m  B
 has turned into ashes
            F#
'Cause it's all over,
       C#            G#m
it's not meant to be
    B
So I'll say words I don't believe

[Chorus]
F#                       C#
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
                                G#m
You were bigger than the whole sky
                                    B
You were more than just a short time
F#                              C#
And I've got a lot to pine about
                            G#m
I've got a lot to live without
                          B
I'm never gonna meet what could've
 been, would've been
                    F#  C# G#m
What should've been you
     B
What could've been, would've been you
                    F#  C# G#m B
What should've been you

How to play Bigger Than The Whole Sky: key, chords and progression

These are Bigger Than The Whole Sky chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Bigger Than The Whole Sky by Taylor Swift is written in F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯) and moves through 4 chords: F#, C#, G#m and B.

Most of the song cycles through F# – C# – G#m – B (I – V – ii – IV in F♯ major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – reh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes D, A, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
