Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4Taylor Swift "Cardigan" Standard tuning. Capo 1st fret. [Verse 1] 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-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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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-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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Break] G Bm A G [Verse 3] 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 [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 [Chorus 3] 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 [PIANO MELODIES] [Intro, Verse 1, Chorus 1, Verse 2, Verse 3 part 2] Em A
