[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But I knew you
Dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under a stɾeetlight, I
I knew you
Hand [Bm]under my [A]sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
[Refrain]
And when I felt like [F]I was [Am7]an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on [C7]and [Bm]said I was [Am7]your favorite
[Verse 2]
A friend to [C7]all [Em]is a friend to [C7]none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you [A7are young, they assume you [A7know nothing
[Chorus]
But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on [C7]the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
[Refrain]
And when I felt like [F]I was [Am7]an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on [C7]and [Bm]said I was [Am7]your favorite
[Bridge]
To kiss in cars and [Bm]downtown bars
Was all [Em]we needed
You drew stars around my [A]scars
But now I'm bleedin'
[Chorus]
'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on [C7]the last tɾain
Marked me like [F]a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to [C7]change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin' like [F]a father
Running like [F]water, I
And when you [A7are young, they assume you [A7know nothing
[Verse 3]
But I knew you'd linger like [F]a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all [Em]of my [A]what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was [Am7]young
I knew I'd curse you [A7for [Dm7]the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be [Am]standin' in my [A]front porch light
And I knew you'd come back to [C7]me
You'd come back to [C7]me
And you'd come back to [C7]me
And you'd come back
[Refrain]
And when I felt like [F]I was [Am7]an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on [C7]and [Bm]said I was [Am7]your favorite.
