[Am] Vintage tee, brand new [D]phone
High heels on cobbles[C]tones
When you are [C]young
they assume you know [D]nothing
[Am] Sequined smile, black lips[D]tick..
sensual poli[C]tics.. When you are young
they assume you know [D]nothing..
[G] But I knew you, dancin’ in your [D]Levi’s
Drunk under a streetlight, [C]I..
I knew you, hand under my [D]sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it [D]better, I..
(Chorus)
[Am] And when I felt like
I was an old [D]cardigan,
under [D]someone’s bed..
[C] You put me on and said
I was your [D]favorite
[Am] A friend to all.. is a friend to [D]none
Chase two girls.. lose the [C]one
When you are [C]young
they assume you know [D]nothing..
[G] But I knew you
Playing hide-and-[D]seek
and giving me your [D]weekends
[C]I.. I knew you..
Your heartbeat on the [D]high line
Once in twenty [D]lifetimes, I..
(Chorus)
[C] And when I felt like
I was an old [Em]cardigan
Under [Em]someone’s bed
[G] You put me on
and said I was your [C]favorite..
(Intro)
[C] [Em] [D] [C]
To kiss in [C]cars, in downtown bars
Was all I [Em]needed..
You drew s[D]tars around my scars
But now I’m [C]bleedin’..
[G] ‘Cause I knew you
Steppin’ on the [D]last train
Marked me like a [D]bloodstain,
[C]I.. I knew you
Tried to change the [D]ending
Peter losin’ [D]Wendy,
I..[G] I knew you..
Leavin’ like a [D]father,
runnin’ like [D]water, I..
[C] When you are young
they assume you know [D]nothing
But I knew you’d [G]linger
like a tattoo [G]kiss..
I knew you’d [D]haunt
all of my what-[D]ifs
The smell of s[C]moke
would hang around this [C]long
‘Cause I knew [D]everything
when I was [D]young..
I knew I’d [G]curse you
for the longest [G]time
Chasin’ [D]shadows in the grocery line
I knew you’d [C]miss me
once the thrill ex[C]pired
And you’d be s[D]tandin’
in my front porch [D]light
And you’d come [Am]back to me..
And you’d come [D]back to me..
And you’d come [C]back to me..
And you’d come [D]back..
(Chorus)
[C] And when I felt like
I was an old [Em]cardigan
Under some[Em]one’s bed
[G] You put me on
and said I was your [C]favorite..
