[Verse 1]
Fm
Vintage tee, brand new phone
Bb
High heels on cobblestones
Ab Bb
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Fm
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Bb
Sensual politics
Ab Bb
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Chorus]
Eb
But I knew you
Bb
Dancing in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
Ab
I knew you
Bb
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby kiss it better, right
Fm Bb
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
Ab Bb
You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Verse 2]
Fm
A friend to all is a friend to none
Bb
Chase two girls, lose the one
Ab Bb
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Chorus]
Eb
But I knew you
Bb
Playin' hideandseek and
Givin' me your weekends
Ab
I, I knew you
Bb
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
Ab Cm
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
Eb Ab
You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Interlude]
Ab Cm Bb Ab Ab
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Cm
Was all we needed
Bb
You drew stars around my scars
Ab
But now I'm bleeding
[Chorus]
Eb
'Cause I knew you
Bb
Stepping on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
Ab
I knew you
Bb
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy
Eb
I, I knew you
Fm
Leaving like a father
Running like water, I
Ab Bb
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Verse 3]
Eb
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
Fm
I knew you'd haunt all of my whatifs
Ab
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
Bb
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
Eb
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Fm
Chasing shadows in the grocery line
Ab
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
Bb
And you'd be standing in my front porch light
Fm
And I knew you'd come back to me
Bb
You'd come back to me
Fm
And you'd come back to me
Bb
And you'd come back
Ab Cm
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed
Eb Ab
You put me on and said I was your favorite
Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you
Dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothin'
But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in 20 lifetimes, I
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin'
'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin' like a father
Running like water, I
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to me
You'd come back to me
And you'd come back to me
And you'd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
