Taylor Swift : "Cardigan"

Verse 1:
Em             A
  Vintage tee, brand new phone
             G
  High heels on cobblestones
                     A
  When you are young they assume you know nothing
Em                       G
  Sequined smile, black lipstick, sentual politics
                      A
  When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Pre-Chorus:
D                 A
  But I knew you, dancin' in your Levi's
                G
  Drunk under a streetlight, I
               A
  I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt

  Baby, kiss it better, I

Chorus 1:
Em                  A
  And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
            G
  Under someone's bed
                   A
  You put me on and said I was your favorite

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

Pre-Chorus:
D
  But I knew you
          A
  Playing hide-and-seek and
              G
  Giving me your weekends, I

  I knew you
             A
  Your heartbeat on the High Line

  Once in twenty lifetimes, I

Chorus 2:
G                  Bm
  And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
            D
  Under someone's bed
                   G
  You put me on and said I was your favorite

Break:
G  Bm
A  G

Verse 3:
       G
  To kiss in cars, in downtown bars
       Bm
  Was all I needed
                   F
  You drew stars around my scars
        G
  But now I'm bleedin'
D
  'Cause I knew you
          A
  Steppin' on the last train
                G
  Marked me like a bloodstain, I

  I knew you
            A
  Tried to change the ending

  Peter losin' Wendy, I
D
  I knew you
          A               G
  Leavin' like a father, runnin' like water, I
                      A
  When you are young, they assume you know nothing

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

Chorus 3:
G                  Bm
  And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
            D
  Under someone's bed
                   G
  You put me on and said I was your favorite
