Taylor Swift – Cardigan Chords

Vintage tee, brand new phone, high heels on cobblestones
When you are young they assume you know nothing
Sequined 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 nothing

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.

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 bleeding.
’Cause I knew you, stepping 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
Leaving like a father, running like water, I.
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.
Chasing shadows in the grocery line.
I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired.
And you’d be standing in my front porch light.

And I knew you’d come back to me.
And 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.
