Taylor Swift : "Cardigan"


Verse 1:
E minorEm                          A augmentedA
   Vintage tee, brand new phone
                         G+G
   High heels on cobblestones
                                          A augmentedA
   When you are young they assume you know nothing
E minorEm                                             G+G
   Sequined smile, black lipstick, sentual politics
                                            A augmentedA
   When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD                                  A augmentedA
   But I knew you, dancin' in your Levi's
                                G+G
   Drunk under a streetlight, I
                             A augmentedA
   I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt

   Baby, kiss it better, I


Chorus 1:
E minorEm                                   A augmentedA
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       G+G
   Under someone's bed
                                     A augmentedA
   You put me on and said I was your favorite

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


Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
   But I knew you
                    A augmentedA
   Playing hide-and-seek and
                            G+G
   Giving me your weekends, I

   I knew you
                         A augmentedA
   Your heartbeat on the High Line

   Once in twenty lifetimes, I


Chorus 2:
G+G                                    B minorBm
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       D MajorD
   Under someone's bed
                                     G+G
   You put me on and said I was your favorite


Break:
G+G   B minorBm
A augmentedA   G+G


Verse 3:
              G+G
   To kiss in cars, in downtown bars
             B minorBm
   Was all I needed
                                     FF
   You drew stars around my scars
               G+G
   But now I'm bleedin'
D MajorD
   'Cause I knew you
                   A augmentedA
   Steppin' on the last train
                                G+G
   Marked me like a bloodstain, I

   I knew you
                       A augmentedA
   Tried to change the ending

   Peter losin' Wendy, I
D MajorD
   I knew you
                   A augmentedA                             G+G
   Leavin' like a father, runnin' like water, I
                                            A augmentedA
   When you are young, they assume you know nothing


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


Chorus 3:
G+G                                    B minorBm
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       D MajorD
   Under someone's bed
                                     G+G
   You put me on and said I was your favorite
