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]

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
