These are Foolish One – Tell Me Why by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar & Keyboard.

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
   G
My cards are on the table,
 yours are in your hand
C
Chances are, tonight you\'ve 
already got plans
    Am                  C   
And chances are, I will talk
                    G
 myself to sleep again
            G
You give me just enough attention 
to keep my hopes too high
        C
Wishful thoughts forget to mention
 when someting\'s really not right
    Am                     C  
And I will block out these voices 
                  G
of reason in my head

[Pre-Chorus]
D
 And the voices say
 C           G     D
\"You are not the exception\"
 C              D
\"You will never learn your 
lesson\"

[Chorus 1]
G
Foolish one, stop checking 
your mailbox
       C
for confessions of love that
 ain\'t never gonna come
Am
You will take the long way
                           D
You will take the long way down

[Interlude]
G C Am D

[Verse 2]
C                G
 I took a chance, I took a shot
D                       
 And you might think I\'m
 Em
 bulletproof, but I\'m not
C                 G
 You took a swing, I took 
it hard
D                     
 And down here on the 
Em
ground I see who you are

[Chorus 2]
C      
 I\'m sick and tired of 
         G
your attitude
I\'m feeling like I don\'t
 D
 know you
You tell me that you
Em
 love me then cut me down
C                     
 And I need you like a
 G
 heartbeat
But you know you got a
 D 
mean streak
                 Em
Makes me run for cover 
when you\'re around
C          D
 Here\'s to you and your 
temper
         G    
Yes, I remember what you 
            Em
said last night
      C  
And I know that you see
               D
what you\'re doing to me
        G  C Am D
Tell me why

[Bridge 1]
  Em               C
Why do you have to make
 me feel small?
   G                    D
So you can feel whole inside?
 Em                C
Why do you have to put down
 my dreams?
        A    
So that you\'re the only thing 
   C  D
on my mind?

[Bridge 2]
       G
\'Cause you got her on your arm,
 and me in the wings
     C
I\'ll get your longing glances,
but she\'ll get your ring
    Am               C 
And you will say you had the
               G
 best of intentions
    Am                  
And maybe I will finally
 C        D
 learn my lesson

[Chorus 1]
G
Foolish one, stop checking 
your mailbox
       C
for confessions of love that
 ain\'t never gonna come
Am
You will take the long way
                           D
You will take the long way down
G
Foolish one, stop checking 
your mailbox
       C
for confessions of love that 
ain\'t never gonna come
Am
You will learn the hard way
                        D  G
Instead of just walking out

[Outro]
C                       Am D
  Ain\'t never gonna come
G
Foolish one, the day is
 gonna come
            C
for your confessions of 
love
When all is said and done
   Am     
He just wasn\'t the one, no, 
     D
he just wasn\'t the one
C                   G
 I take a step back, let 
you go
D                  
 I told you I\'m not
 Em                   G
 bulletproof, now you know
