Cardigan

	  		 

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

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

  
Verse 2:
Em                 
   A friend to all 
                A 
Is a friend to none 
                          G 
Chase two girls, lose the one 

When you are young 
                      A 
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 
  

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

  
( G  Bm  A  G ) 
  
Verse 3:
            G 
To kiss in cars, in downtown bars 
           Bm 
Was all I 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     
Leavin' like a father 
                      G 
Runnin' like water, I 
                   
When you are young 
                      A 
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 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 
  

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