CHit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oGh
Only sound, only sound that you hear is "FNo"
You never saw it coming
Slipped when you started running
And nCow you've come undone and GI, I, I, I
SCeen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh Geh
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fFade
Wish I could make it better
Someday you won't remember
This paCin you thought would last foreGver and ever
ThDere you'll stand, ten feet tall
AI will say, "I knew it all along."

by Taylor Swift

Lyrics & chords · Original key

C G

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear is "No"

You never saw it coming

Slipped when you started running

C G

And now you've come undone and I, I, I, I

C G

Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh eh

Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade

Wish I could make it better

Someday you won't remember

C G

This pain you thought would last forever and ever

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along."

Your eyes–wider than distance

Bm A

This life–sweeter than fiction

C G

Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh oh

All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes

They never saw it coming

You hit the ground running

C G

And now you're onto something, I, I, I say

C G

What a sight, what a sight when the light came on

Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong

And in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

C G

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along."

Your eyes–wider than distance

Bm A

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes-wider than distance

Bm A

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

I'll be one of the many saying,

"Look at you now, look at you now, now."

I'll be one of the many saying,

"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud."

I'll be one of the many saying,

"Look at you now, look at you now, now."

I'll be one of the many saying,

"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud."

And when they call your name

and they put your picture in a frame

You know that I'll be there time and again

'Cause I loved you when, when you

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you heard was "No"

Now in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever)

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along."

Your eyes–wider than distance

Bm A

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes–wider than distance

Bm A

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

It's sweeter than fiction

It's sweeter, yeah

Bm A

It's sweeter than, sweeter
