Treacherous - Taylor Swift
 
Capo on 2nd fret. All chords are relative to Capo. :)
 
[Intro]
C  G  Am  F  x2
 
[Verse 1]
C                      G
Put your lips close to mine
   Am                   F
As long as they don't touch
C                     G
Out of focus, eye to eye
          Am             F
Till the gravity's too much
C                        G
And I'll do anything you say
       Am                 F
If you say it with your hands
C                        G                Am        F
And I'd be smart to walk away but you're quicksand
 
[Chorus]
C              G
  This slope is treacherous
Am             F
   This path is reckless
C              G
  This slope is treacherous
Am           F
  And I, I, I like it
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Verse 2]
C                        G
I can't decide if it's a choice
Am               F
Getting swept away
C                          G
I hear the sound of my own voice
Am              F
Asking you to stay
C                          G    Am                   F
And all we are is skin and bone trained to get along
C                      G                 Am          F
Forever going with the flow but you're friction
 
[Chorus]
C              G
  This slope is treacherous
Am             F
   This path is reckless
C              G
  This slope is treacherous
Am           F
  And I, I, I like it
 
[Bridge]
G               Am                         F
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
           C
And I will get you and get you alone
G             Am                F
Your name has echoed through my mind
            C
And I just think you should, think you should know
G              Am                F
That not being safe is worth the drive and I will
C                        G
follow you, follow you home
Am                           F
I'll follow you, follow you home
 
[Chorus] (* - one strum each)
C*            G*
  This hope is treacherous
Am*             F*
   This daydream is dangerous
C*            G*
  This hope is treacherous
Am*     F
  I I I, I I I, I I I
 
[Bridge]
 G               Am                         F
Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
           C
And I will get you and get you alone
G             Am                F
Your name has echoed through my mind
            C
And I just think you should, think you should know
G              Am                F
That not being safe is worth the drive and I will
C                        G
follow you, follow you home
Am                           F
I'll follow you, follow you home
C                            G
I'll follow you, follow you home
Am                           F
I'll follow you, follow you home
 
[Chorus]
C              G
  This slope is treacherous
Am       F
  I, I, I like it

Great job with this tab! The other version has a Bm, which is really hard for a beginner at strumming like me! I play the F with the "cheater's" version, its sound is "lighter" and it's easier to switch between chords. Perfect tab, 5*!! :D

Am is actually supposed to be a Dm

Graet ! <3
