Our Song was penned by Taylor Swift for her debut studio album. Taylor wrote the song for a high school talent show during her freshman year about a boyfriend she did not have at the time. She wanted a song that talked about her scenario of not having a personal song with someone, so she created Our Song.

He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel

The other on my heart

I say nothing I was just thinking how we don’t have a song And he says...

Our song is the slamming screen door,
G

Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
D

G
When we’re on the phone and you talk real slow
A

Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
Em
Our song is the way you laugh
G
A
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”
Em

Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
D
G
Asking God if he could play it again
