[Em] Vintage tee, brand new [A]phone
High heels on cobble[G]stones
When you are young the assume you know [A]nothing
[Em] Sequined smile, black lip[A]stick, sensual poli[G]tics
When you are young, they assume you know [A]nothing
 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
 
[D]But I knew you, dancin' in your [A]Levi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I[G]
I knew you, hand under my [A]sweatshirt
 
Baby, kiss it better, I

[Em]And when I felt loke I was an old [A]cardigan
Under someone's bed[G]
You put me on and said I was your [A]favorite

[Em]A friend to all is a friend to [A]none
Chase two girls, lose the [G]one
When you are young, they assume you know [A]nothing
 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
 
[D]But I knew you
Playing hide-and-[A]seek and
Giving me you weekends, [G]I
 
I knew you
Your heartbear on the [A]High Line
 
Once in twenty lifetime, I

Verse 3
 
 
Tho kiss in [G]cars, and downtown bars
Was all we [Bm]needed
You drew [A]stars around my scars
But now I'm [G]bleedin'
[D]'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the [A]last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, [G]I
 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
 
I knew you
Tried to change the [A]ending
 
Peter losin' Wendy, I

Leavin' like a [A]father, runnin' like water, I[G]
When you are young, they assume you know [A]nothing
 
 
Bridge
 
 
But I knew you'd [D]linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd [A]haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of [G]smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew [A]everything when I was young
I knew I'd [D]curse you for the longest time
Chasin' [A]shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd [G]miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be [A]standin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come [Em]back to me
You'd come [A]back to me
And you'd come [G]back to me
And you'd come [A]back
 
 
Chorus 3
 
 
[G]And when I felt like I was an old [Bm]cardigan
Under someone's bed[D]
You put me on and said I was your [A]favorite
