Cardigan chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 5)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Em                     A
Vintage tee, brand new phone
           G        A
High heels on cobblestones
             Em                         A        A
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
G                      A
 Sequin smile, black lipstick
   Em       A
Sensual politics
             G                          A         A
When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Chorus:
D
 But I knew you
                Asus4
Dancin' in your Levi's
              G             Asus4
Drunk under a streetlight, I
       D
I knew you
              Asus4
Hand under my sweatshirt
              G        Asus4
Baby, kiss it better, I


Refrain:
Em                            A
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
G                                 A
You put me on and said I was your favorite


Verse 2:
Em          A                  G
A friend to all is a friend to none
          A               Em
Chase two girls, lose the one
             A                           G      A
When you are young, they assume you know nothing


Chorus:
D
 But I knew you
                 Asus4
Playing hide-and-seek and
               G          Asus4
Giving me your weekends, I
       D
I knew you
                           Asus4
Your heartbeat on the High Line
               G           Asus4
Once in twenty lifetimes, I


Refrain:
Em                            A
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
G                                 A
You put me on and said I was your favorite


Bridge:
Bm                           D
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
           G
Was all we needed
         Bm              D
You drew stars around my scars
            G
But now I'm bleedin'


Chorus:
D
 'Cause I knew you
                     Asus4
Steppin' on the last train
                 G            Asus4
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
       D
I knew you
                    Asus4
Tried to change the ending
             G       Asus4
Peter losing Wendy, I
       D
I knew you
               Asus4
Leavin' like a father
             G       Asus4
Running like water, I
                 D                           Asus4
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing


Verse 3:
                 G
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
             Em
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
             D
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
              G
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
           Em
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
        D
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
             G
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
             Em
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
                 D
And I knew you'd come back to me
           G
You'd come back to me
           Em
And you'd come back to me
           D
And you'd come back


Refrain:
Em                            A
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed
G                                 A
You put me on and said I was your favorite
