Taylor Swift - Cardigan

[verse 1]
Fm                          A#
   Vintage tee, brand new phone
                         G#
   High heels on cobblestones
                                          A#
   When you are young they assume you know nothing
Fm                          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]
Fm                                   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]
Fm                                 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

[verse 3]
              G#
   To kiss in cars, in downtown bars
             Cm
   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#                             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
                         Fm
   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

   Under someone's bed
                                     G#
   You put me on and said I was your favorite
