Taylor Swift – Cardigan


[Verse I:]
Fm Bb
Vintage tee, brand new phone
Ab
High heels on cobblestones
Ab
When you are young
Bb
they assume you know nothing
Fm Bb
Sequined smile, black lipstick..
Ab
sensual politics.. When you are young
Bb
they assume you know nothing..

Eb Bb
But I knew you, dancin' in your Levi's
Ab
Drunk under a streetlight, I..
Bb
I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt
Bb
Baby, kiss it better, I..

[Chorus:]
Fm
And when I felt like
Bb
I was an old cardigan,
Bb
under someone's bed..
Ab
You put me on and said
Bb
I was your favorite

Fm Bb
A friend to all.. is a friend to none
Ab
Chase two girls.. lose the one
Ab
When you are young
Bb
they assume you know nothing..

Eb
But I knew you
Bb
Playing hide-and-seek
Bb
and giving me your weekends
Ab
I.. I knew you..
Bb
Your heartbeat on the high line
Bb
Once in twenty lifetimes, I..

[Chorus:]
Ab
And when I felt like
Cm
I was an old cardigan
Cm
Under someone's bed
Eb
You put me on
Ab
and said I was your favorite..

[Intro:]
Ab Cm Bb Ab

[Verse II:]
Ab
To kiss in cars, in downtown bars
Cm
Was all I needed..
Bb
You drew stars around my scars
Ab
But now I'm bleedin'..

Eb
'Cause I knew you
Bb
Steppin' on the last train
Bb
Marked me like a bloodstain,
Ab
I.. I knew you
Bb
Tried to change the ending
Bb
Peter losin' Wendy,
Eb
I.. I knew you..
Bb
Leavin' like a father,
Bb
runnin' like water, I..
Ab
When you are young
Bb
they assume you know nothing

Eb
But I knew you'd linger
Eb
like a tattoo kiss..
Bb
I knew you'd haunt
Bb
all of my what-ifs
Ab
The smell of smoke
Ab
would hang around this long
Bb
'Cause I knew everything
Bb
when I was young..
Eb
I knew I'd curse you
Eb
for the longest time
Bb
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
Ab
I knew you'd miss me
Ab
once the thrill expired
Bb
And you'd be standin'
Bb
in my front porch light
Fm
And you'd come back to me..
Bb
And you'd come back to me..
Ab
And you'd come back to me..
Bb
And you'd come back..

[End Chorus:]
Ab
And when I felt like
Cm
I was an old cardigan
Cm
Under someone's bed
Eb
You put me on
Ab
and said I was your favorite..
