The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young
           D
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
        Asus4
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
             Em7
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
                      Em
And I knew you'd come back to me
            A
You'd come back to me
               G
And you'd come back to me
          A
And you'd come back

Cardigan, under someone's bed
G
You put me on and said I was your
