(Verse 1)
[Em] Vintage tee, brand new ph[A]one
High heels on cobblest[G]ones
When you are young they assume you know[A] nothing
[Em] Sequined smile, black lipstick, sentual poli[G]tics
When you are young, they assume you know [A]nothing
(Pre-Chorus)
[D] But I knew you, dancin’ in your [A]Levi’s
Drunk under a streetlight, I [G]
I knew you, hand under my [A]sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
(Chorus 1)
[Em] And when I felt like I was an old [A]cardigan
Under someone’s bed [G]
You put me on and said I was your [A]favorite
(Verse 2)
[Em] A friend to all is a friend to n[A]one
Chase two girls, lose the [G]one
When you are young, they assume you know [A]nothing
(Pre-Chorus)
[D] But I knew you
Playing hide-and-[A]seek and
Giving me your weekends, [G]I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the [A]High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
(Chorus 2)
[G] And when I felt like I was an old [Bm]cardigan
Under someone’s bed [D]
You put me on and said I was your [G]favorite
(Break)
[G] [Bm] [A] [G]
(Verse 3)
To kiss in [G]cars, in downtown bars
Was all I [Bm]needed
You drew [A]stars around my scars
But now I’m [G]bleedin’
[D] ‘Cause I knew you
Steppin’ on the [A]last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, [G]I
I knew you
Tried to change the [A]ending
Peter losin’ Wendy, I
[D] I knew you
Leavin’ like a f[A]ather, runnin’ like water, I [G]
When you are young, they assume you know [A]nothing
(Bridge)
But I knew you’d [D]linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you’d h[A]aunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of s[G]moke would hang around this long
‘Cause I knew [A]everything when I was young
I knew I’d c[D]urse you for the longest time
Chasin’ [A]shadows in the grocery line
I knew you’d m[G]iss me once the thrill expired
And you’d be st[A]andin’ in my front porch light
And you’d come b[Em]ack to me
And you’d come b[A]ack to me
And you’d come b[G]ack to me
And you’d come b[A]ack
(Chorus 3)
[G] And when I felt like I was an old [Bm]cardigan
Under someone’s bed [D]
You put me on and said I was your [G]favorite
