F Am G
[Verse 1]
F Am
Lovin' him is like, drivin' a new Maserati
G
Down a dead end street
F Am
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
G
Ended so suddenly
F
Loving him is like, tryin' to change your mind
Am G
Once you're already flying through the free fall
F Am
Like the colors in autumn so bright
G N.C.
Just before they lose it all
[Chorus]
F C
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
F Am
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
G
You never met
F
But loving him was red
Am G
Re ee ed, re ee ed, re ee ed
F
Lovin' him was red
Am G
Re ee ed, re ee ed, re ee ed
[Verse 2]
F Am
Touching him was like, realizing all you ever wanted
G
Was right there in front of you
F Am
Memorizing him was as, easy as knowin' all the words
G
To your old favorite song
F
Fighting with him was like tryin' to solve a
Am G
Crossword and realizing there's no right answer
F Am
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out
G
That love could be that strong
[Chorus]
F C
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
F Am
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
G
You never met
F
But loving him was red
Am G
Re ee ed, re ee ed, oh red, re ee ed
F Am
Burnin' red, re ee ed, re ee ed
G
Re ee ed,
[Bridge]
F G
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos
Am G/B
Tellin' myself it's time now gotta let go
C F
But moving on from him is impossible
C/E G
When I still see it all in my, head
F Am G
And burning red
F Am G
Burning, it was reeeeed
[Chorus]
F F F N.C. C C C N.C.
Oh losing him was blue, like I'd never known
G G G N.C. G G G
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
F Am
Forgetting him was like tryin' to know somebody
G
You never met
F
Cause loving him was red
Am G
Yeah, yeah, red
F Am G
Oh Burning reeeeeeeed
[Outro]
F Am G
And that's Why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
F
Comes back to me, burnin' red
Am G
Yeah, yeah
F Am
His love was like, drivin' a new Maserati
G
Down a dead end street

Although the lyrics in the first verse aren't quite right I don't think! This "Like the colors and arms so bright, Just before they lose it all" should be... "Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all"

I just watched Taylor play this on youtube and it's definitely capo 4:) With these same chords (but her G is [230010], not sure what it's called, G7 or a Gsus of sorts?)
So, if the capo sounds better on 2 or 3 like some have said, then play it that way! Lol! Whatever sounds good to you!
(But I'm not changing it, this is how Taylor plays it:))

When I played it with the song capo on 3 sounded better ;) idk maybe only me!
