[Verse 1]
       C                       C/B
They say Taylor was a good girl, never one to be late
 Am              F             C    C/B  Am  F
complain, express ideas in her brain
C                           C/B
Working on the night shift, passing out the tickets,
        Am                  F                    C   C/B  Am  F
you're gonna have to pay her if you want to park here
       C                         C/B
Well, mommy's little dancer has quite a little secret
Am                          F                 C  C/B  Am  F
working on the streets now, never gonna keep it
      C                      C/B
It's quite an imposition and now she's only wishing
      Am                    F                   C  C/B  Am
that she would have listened to the words they said
F
Poor Taylor
 
 
[Chorus]
C            C/B             Am   F      C
She just wanders around, unaffected by
    C/B            Am  F               C
the winter winds and she'll pretend that
             C/B    Am   F             C
she's somewhere else, so far and clear
      C/B             Am
About two thousand miles from here
 
 
[Verse 2]
C             C/B                     Am    F
Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window
    C             C/B             Am    F
but Sunny Silhouette won't let him in
C                   C/B                         Am     F
Poor old Pete's got nothing because he's been falling
         C          C/B            Am      F
Somehow Sunny knows just where he's been
               C                          C/B         Am   F
He thinks that singing on Sunday is gonna save his soul
C        C/B    Am         F
now that Saturday is gone
C            C/B                Am    F
Sometimes he thinks that he's on his way
          C    C/B  Am
but I can see
          F
that his brake lights are on
 
 
[Chorus]
C            C/B             Am   F     C
He just wanders around, unaffected by
    C/B            Am  F                  C
the winter winds and he'll pretend that
      C/B            Am   F             C
he's somewhere else, so far and clear
      C/B             Am
About two thousand miles from here
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C                C/B
Such a tough enchilada, filled up with nada
Am                    F                   C    C/B  Am  F
giving what she gotta give to get a dollar bill
        C                    C/B
Used to be a limber chicken, time's a been a ticking
Am                       F
Now she's finger licking to the man
         C                    C/B
With the money in his pocket, flying in his rocket
Am                     F                 C    Dadd4add9   F
Only stopping by on his way to a better world
   G                      C   Dadd4add9   F
If Taylor finds a better world
     G                    C
then Taylor's gonna run away

don't let them ruin that. its good. but on the chorus, it goes from a C to a G. not a B.

also... the chorus is right with the "C/B" (C chord, with B as a bass note... not a B chord, as the comment above suggests... played: x20010). it's sort of a Gs4 if you want to look at it that way, doesn't make much of a difference.

not that bad I just needed the Lyrics for this one cause id already know the notes, it's almost right but it it not a C/B it's a G/B so it will be C, G/B, Am, F in the chorus it's C, G, Am, F, the chorus use bar chords instead the normal ones
