Just South Of Knowing Why

Taylor Swift


Tom: Em

    Em7           Cadd9     G   D
She didn't have a reason to go, oh no
    Em7           Cadd9         G
She didn't have a reason to stay 
       D              Em7     Cadd9         G            D
Either way she didn't tell anyone about her first ray of sun
    Em7           Cadd9            G         D
She looked at her keys and found a reason to run

    Em7                           G
And time stands still when you're nowhere bound
Em7                 D
But I understand it somehow

           G         D                     Em       C
If I could drive all night would I find my peace of mind?
              G                
Would it be a million miles of cold white lights
    D
And unfamiliar exit signs?
      Em          C                         Em
I'd just drive on by, just south of knowing why

(Repeat chords until bridge)

    Em7           Cadd9     G   D
I didn't really know her that well
  Em7           Cadd9       G            D
But I could tell that her smile was only something to hide behind
  Em7           Cadd9     G             D
She felt so out of touch, cos she just felt too much
  Em7           Cadd9     G             D
If you don't know what you want nothing's ever enough

    Em7                           G
And time stands still when you're nowhere bound
Em7                 D
That's where I'm headed right now

           G         D                     Em       C
If I could drive all night would I find my peace of mind?
              G                
Would it be a million miles of cold white lights
    D
And unfamiliar exit signs?
      Em          C                         Em
I'd just drive on by, just south of knowing why

Em C D G

Em7            D     Em7            Cadd9
I don't have a plan, I don't have a map
Em7               D      Em7        Cadd9
I don't even know if I'm ever going back
Em7            D        Em7            Cadd9
I don't have a when and I don't have a where
Em7            D          Em7           Cadd9
I don't even know if I'll know when I'm there

(Repeat chords for chorus)

           G         D                     Em       C
But If I could drive all night would I find my peace of mind?
           G      
Would it be a million miles of cold white lies
     D
And unfamiliar exit signs?
      Em          C  
I just drive on by
       Cadd9        G         Cadd9            
I just drive on by, drive on, drive on
Em7   Cadd9 G
Drive all night
     Cadd9     G         Cadd9
If I drive on, drive on, drive on
Em7  Cadd9 G          C                Em
Drive all night, just south of knowing why
