Drunk under a streetlight, I

Hand under my sweatshirt

Baby, kiss it better, I

E minorEm              A augmentedA

Under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Playing hide-and-seek and
        G+G     Asus4Asus4
Giving me your weekends, I
    D MajorD
I knew you
              Asus4Asus4
Your heartbeat on the High Line
        G+G      Asus4Asus4
Once in twenty lifetimes, I

Refrain:
E minorEm              A augmentedA

You put me on and said I was your favorite

B minorBm              D MajorD
To kiss in cars and downtown bars

Was all we needed
     B minorBm       D MajorD
You drew stars around my scars
      G+G
But now I'm bleedin'


Chorus:
D MajorD
 'Cause I knew you
           Asus4Asus4
Steppin' on the last train
         G+G      Asus4Asus4
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
    D MajorD
I knew you
          Asus4Asus4
Tried to change the ending
       G+G    Asus4Asus4
Peter losing Wendy, I
    D MajorD
I knew you
        Asus4Asus4
Leavin' like a father
       G+G    Asus4Asus4
Running like water, I
         D MajorD              Asus4Asus4
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing


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


Refrain:
E minorEm              A augmentedA
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

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