TAYLOR SWIFT – Cardigan Chords for Guitar Piano & Ukulele

Fm                          Bb
   Vintage tee, brand new phone
                         Ab
   High heels on cobblestones
                                          Bb
   When you are young they assume you know nothing
Fm                                             Ab
   Sequined smile, black lipstick, sentual politics
                                            Bb
   When you are young, they assume you know nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

Eb                                 Bb
   But I knew you, dancin' in your Levi's
                                Ab
   Drunk under a streetlight, I
                             Bb
   I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt
 
   Baby, kiss it better, I

[Chorus 1]

Fm                                   Bb
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       Ab
   Under someone's bed
                                     Bb
   You put me on and said I was your favorite

[Verse 2]

Fm                                 Bb
   A friend to all is a friend to none
                             Ab
   Chase two girls, lose the one
                                            Bb
   When you are young, they assume you know nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

Eb
   But I knew you
                    Bb
   Playing hide-and-seek and
                            Ab
   Giving me your weekends, I
 
   I knew you
                         Bb
   Your heartbeat on the High Line
 
   Once in twenty lifetimes, I

[Chorus 2]

Ab                                  Cm
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       Eb
   Under someone's bed
                                     Ab
   You put me on and said I was your favorite

[Break]

Ab  Cm
Bb  Ab

[Verse 3]

Ab
   To kiss in cars, in downtown bars
             Cm
   Was all I needed
                                     Gb
   You drew stars around my scars
               Ab
   But now I'm bleedin'
Eb
   'Cause I knew you
                   Bb
   Steppin' on the last train
                                Ab
   Marked me like a bloodstain, I
 
   I knew you
                       Bb
   Tried to change the ending
 
   Peter losin' Wendy, I
Eb
   I knew you
                   Bb                            Ab
   Leavin' like a father, runnin' like water, I
                                            Bb
   When you are young, they assume you know nothing

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus 3]

Ab                                   Cm
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       Eb
   Under someone's bed
                                     Ab
   You put me on and said I was your favorite
