Em           A
Vintage tee, brand new phone
      G    A
High heels on cobblestones
       Em             A    A
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
G           A
 Sequin smile, black lipstick

D
 But I knew you
        Asus4
Dancin' in your Levi's
       G       Asus4
Drunk under a streetlight, I
    D
I knew you
       Asus4
Hand under my sweatshirt
       G    Asus4
Baby, kiss it better, I


Refrain:
Em              A
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
G                 A
You put me on and said I was your favorite


Verse 2:
Em     A         G
A friend to all is a friend to none
     A        Em
Chase two girls, lose the one
       A              G   A
When you are young, they assume you know nothing


Chorus:
D
 But I knew you
         Asus4
Playing hide-and-seek and
        G     Asus4
Giving me your weekends, I
    D
I knew you
              Asus4
Your heartbeat on the High Line
        G      Asus4
Once in twenty lifetimes, I


Refrain:
Em              A
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
G                 A
You put me on and said I was your favorite


Bridge:
Bm              D
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
      G
Was all we needed
     Bm       D
You drew stars around my scars
      G
But now I'm bleedin'


Chorus:
D
 'Cause I knew you
           Asus4
Steppin' on the last train
         G      Asus4
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
    D
I knew you
          Asus4
Tried to change the ending
       G    Asus4
Peter losing Wendy, I
    D
I knew you
        Asus4
Leavin' like a father
       G    Asus4
Running like water, I
         D              Asus4
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing


Verse 3:
         G
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
       Em
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
       D
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
       G
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
      Em
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
    D
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
       G
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
       Em
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
         D
And I knew you'd come back to me
      G
You'd come back to me
      Em
And you'd come back to me
      D
And you'd come back


Refrain:
Em              A
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
G                 A
You put me on and said I was your favorite
