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

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                                  A
… And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

   Under someone’s bed
   G                                   A
   … You put me on and said I was your favorite


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


D                                 A
… But I knew you playing hide-and-seek and

Giving me your weekends, I
G
… I knew you
                      A
Your heartbeat on the High Line once in twenty lifetimes, I


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


  G                   Bm

           G                                  Bm
To kiss in cars, and downtown bars was all we needed
         A                                  G
You drew stars around my scars, but now I’m bleedin’


D                                   A
… ‘Cause I knew you steppin’ on the last train

Marked me like a bloodstain, I
G                                A
… I knew you tried to change the ending

Peter losin’ Wendy, I


D                           A
… I knew you leavin’ like a father

Runnin’ like water, I
G                                          A
… When you are young, they assume you know nothing


                 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


G                                  Bm
…And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed
   D                                   G
