[Verse 1]
Dm G
Vintage tee, brand new phone
F
High heels on cobblestones
G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Dm G
Sequin smile, black lipstick
F
Sensual politics
G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Chorus]
C
But I knew you
G
Dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
F
I knew you
G
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
[Refrain]
Dm G
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
F G
You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Verse 2]
Dm G
A friend to all is a friend to none
F
Chase two girls, lose the one
G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Chorus]
C
But I knew you
G
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
F
I knew you
G
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
[Refrain]
F Am
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
C F
You put me on and said I was your favorite
F Am G F
[Bridge]
F
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Am
Was all we needed
G
You drew stars around my scars
F
But now I'm bleedin'
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I knew you
G
Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
F
I knew you
G
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
C
I knew you
G
Leavin' like a father
Running like water, I
F G
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Verse 3]
C
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
G
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
F
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
G
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
C
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
G
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
F
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
G
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
Dm
And I knew you'd come back to me
G
You'd come back to me
F
And you'd come back to me
G
And you'd come back
[Refrain]
F Am
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
C F
You put me on and said I was your favorite
