"Cardigan"
Standard tuning. Capo 1st fret.
Verse 1
Vintage tee, brand new ph
one
High heels on cobblest
ones
When you are young they assume you know
nothing
Sequined smile, black lip
stick, sensual poli
tics
When you are young, they assume you know
nothing
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus 1
And when I felt like I was an old
cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your
favorite
Verse 2
A friend to all is a friend to n
one
Chase two girls, lose the
one
When you are young, they assume you know
nothing
Pre-Chorus
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 twenty lifetimes, I
Chorus 2
And when I felt like I was an old
cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your
favorite
Break
Verse 3
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 losin' Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin' like a f
ather, runnin' like water, I
When you are young, they assume you know
nothing
Bridge
But I knew you'd
linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd h
aunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of s
moke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew
everything when I was young
I knew I'd c
urse you for the longest time
Chasin'
shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd m
iss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be st
andin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come
back to me
And you'd come b
ack to me
And you'd come b
ack to me
And you'd come b
ack
Chorus 3
And when I felt like I was an old
cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your
favorite
