Taylor Swift - Ronan Chords

C Am F x2

C               Am                 F
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
  G
I remember your little laugh
C                Am
Race cars on the kitchen floor
F                  G
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back

C Am F


C               Am        F                 G
I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own
secret club
C              Am              F           G
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking
me up
C                    Am
I can still feel you hold my hand
F           G
Little man, from even that moment I knew
C                          Am
You fought it hard like an army guy
F                                     G(one strum)
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you


Chorus:

F                G
Come on baby with me
                 C        F
We're gonna fly away from here
F           G         C
You were my best four years

C, Am, F, G

C              Am                  F
I remember the drive home when the blind hope
          G                      C
Turned to crying and screaming, "Why?
                        Am
Flowers piled up in the worst way
F                        G
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died
C                    Am
And it's about to be Halloween
              F            G
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
C              Am              F
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
G(one strum)
I whispered in your ear


Chorus:
F                 G
Come on baby with me
                C         F
We're gonna fly away from here
F                     G
Out of this curtained room in this hospital Grey
C                F
We'll just disappear
F                 G
Come on baby with me
                C         F
We're gonna fly away from here
F           G         C
You were my best four years
                F                                 G
And what if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
          F                                G
What if I kept the hand me downs you won't grow into?
              F                                 G
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
                F                            G(one strum)
But what if the miracle was even getting one moment with you

F                 G
Come on baby with me
                C         F
We're gonna fly away from here

F  G

F                 G
Come on baby with me
                C         F
We're gonna fly away from here
F           G         C
You were my best four years

C Am F G

C               Am                 F
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
  G                        C(one strum)
I love you to the moon and back
