These are Sweeter Than Fiction – Holy Ground chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
C        
Hit the ground, 
hit the ground, 
hit the ground,
    G
 oh oh
Only sound, only 
sound that 
             F
you hear is \"No\"
F
You never saw it 
comin\', slipped 
when you started 
runnin\'
C       
 And now you\'ve 
come undone 
    G          C
and I, I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen 
you crawl on 
                G
your knees, eh eh
See you lost in 
a crowd, 
                 F
seen your colors fade
F
Wish I could make 
it better, 
someday you won’t 
remember
C           
This pain you thought
 would 
        G
last forever and ever

[Chorus]
C
There you’ll stand, 
10 feet tall
G                   
I will say, \"I knew 
            F
it all along\"
Your eyes, wider 
             Am
than distance
             G       
This life is sweeter 
            C
than fiction

[Verse 2]
C        
 Just a shot, just 
a shot 
                G
in the dark, oh oh
All you got, all you 
got are your 
          F
shattered hopes
F
They never saw it 
comin\', 
you hit the ground 
running
C             
 And now you\'re
 onto something, 
G          C
I, I, I say
C       
What a sight, what 
a sight 
                    G
when the light came on
Proved me right, 
proved me right when 
                F
you proved them wrong
And then this perfect 
weather, 
it\'s like we don\'t 
remember
C             
The rain you thought 
would last 
    G
forever and forever

[Chorus]
C
There you’ll stand, 
10 feet tall
G                   
I will say, \"I knew 
            F
it all along\"
Your eyes, wider

This life is sweeter 
            C

[Verse 3]
C
I was reminiscing 
just 
the other day
While having coffee 
all 
alone and Lord it
 took 
me away
           F
Back to a first-glance 
feeling on New York 
time
Back when you fit in
 my 
poems like a perfect 
rhyme
 C
Took off fast through 
the green light go
Hey skip the conversation 
and you already know
         Am
I left a note on the door 
with a joke we\'d made
     F
And that was the first day

[Chorus]
     G     Am      F
And darling it was good
 G     Am     F
Never looking down
      G           Am 
And right there where
      F
 we stood
            C       F
Was holy ground
C               
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, 
       Am
ooh-ah-oh-oh
C               
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, 
       Am
ooh-ah-oh-oh

[Bridge]
C                
Tonight I\'m gonna 
dance 
for all
 that we\'ve been 
   F
through
But I don\'t wanna 
dance if I\'m 
not dancing with you
C          
Tonight I\'m gonna 
dance 
like you were 
in this room
But I don\'t wanna 
dance if I\'m not 
              G
dancing with you
    C
And I’ll be one of 
the many saying
Am
Look at you now, look 
at you now, now
F
I’ll be one of the 
many saying
G
You’ve made us proud, 
you’ve made us proud,
 proud
C
I’ll be one of the 
many saying
Am
Look at you now, look at 
you now, now
C               F
You’ll know that I’ll be 
there time & again
        Am      G
Cause I loved you then...

[Chorus]
   G     Am      F
Darling it was good
 G     Am     F
Never looking down
     G           Am   
And right there where 
    F
we stood
Was holy 
   C    F    Am   F
ground
            C    F
Was holy ground
            G        
This life is sweeter 
           C
than fiction
     G     C
Holy ground
             G       
This life is sweeter 
            C
than fiction
