(Verse 1)
[Am] Vintage tee, brand new phone
[D] High heels on cobblestones
[Am] When you are young they assume you know[D] nothing
[Am] Sequined smile, black lipstick,[D] sentual politics
[C] When you are young, they assume you know [D]nothing
(Pre-Chorus)
[G] But I knew you, dancin' in your [D]Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I [C]
I knew you, hand under my [D]sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
(Chorus 1)
[Am] And when I felt like I was an old [D]cardigan
Under someone's bed
[C] You put me on and said I was your [D]favorite
(Verse 2)
[Am] A friend to all is a friend to none
[D] Chase two girls, lose the one
[C] When you are young, they assume you know [D]nothing
(Pre-Chorus)
[G] But I knew you
Playing hide-and-[D]seek and
Giving me your weekends, [C]I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the [D]High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
(Chorus 2)
[C] And when I felt like I was an old [Em]cardigan
Under someone's bed
[G] You put me on and said I was your [C]favorite
(Verse 3)
To kiss in [C]cars, in downtown bars
Was all I [Em]needed
You drew [D]stars around my scars
But now I'm [C]bleedin'
[G] 'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the [D]last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, [C]I
I knew you
Tried to change the [D]ending
Peter losin' Wendy, I
[G] I knew you
Leavin' like a f[D]ather, runnin' like water, I [C]
When you are young, they assume you know [D]nothing
(Bridge)
But I knew you'd [G]linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd h[D]aunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of s[C]moke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew [D]everything when I was young
I knew I'd c[G]urse you for the longest time
Chasin' [D]shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd m[C]iss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be st[D]andin' in my front porch light
And you'd come b[Am]ack to me
And you'd come b[D]ack to me
And you'd come b[C]ack to me
And you'd come b[D]ack
(Chorus 3)
[C] And when I felt like I was an old [Em]cardigan
Under someone's bed [G]
You put me on and said I was your [C]favorite
