Cardigan

	 
[Strophe]
Em                         A 
  Vintage tee, brand new phone 
                      G 
High heels on cobblestones 
                                       A 
When you are young they assume you know nothing 
Em                         A                  G 
  Sequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politics 
                                         A 
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Pre-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
G                                  Bm 
 And when I felt like I was an old cardigan 
                    D 
Under someone's bed 
                                  A 
You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Instrumentale]
G   Bm
A   G
[Strophe]
           G 
To kiss in cars, and downtown bars 
           Bm 
Was all we needed 
         A 
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
[Pont]
                 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 I knew 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
[Refrain]
G                                  Bm 
 And when I felt like I was an old cardigan 
                    D 
Under someone's bed 
                                  A 
You put me on and said I was your favorite
