       When you are young they assume you know nothing
    Em                          A                  G
       Sequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politics
                                                A

       But I knew you
                        A
       Playing hide-and-seek and

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

       A friend to all is a friend to none
                                 G
       Chase two girls, lose the one
                                                A
       When you are young, they assume you know nothing
    
                
[Pre-Chorus]

       Giving me your weekends, I
     
       I knew you
                             A
       Your heartbeat on the High Line
     
       Once in twenty lifetimes, I
    
                
[Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]
                
                  G
       To kiss in cars, and downtown bars
                  Bm
       Was all we needed
                A
       You drew stars around my scars
                   G
       But now I'm bleedin'
    D
       'Cause I knew you
                       A
       Steppin' on the last train
                                    G
       Marked me like a bloodstain, I
     
       I knew you
                           A
       Tried to change the ending
     
       Peter losin' Wendy, I
    D
       I knew you
                       A                             G
       Leavin' like a father, runnin' like water, I
                                                A
       When you are young, they assume you know nothing
    
                
[Bridge]
                
                        D
       But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
                     A
       I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
                     G
       The smell of smoke would hang around this long
                     A
       'Cause I knew everything when I was young
                   D
       I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
               A
       Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
                     G
       I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
                      A
       And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
                             Em
       And I knew you'd come back to me
                       A
       And you'd come back to me
                       G
       And you'd come back to me
                       A
       And you'd come back
    
                
[Chorus 3]
                
    G                                    Bm
       And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                           D
       Under someone's bed
                                         A
       You put me on and said I was your favorite

    Sequin smile, black lipstick
    Sensual politics
    When you are young, they assume you know nothing
    
    [Chorus]
    But I knew you
    Dancin' in your Levi's
    Drunk under a streetlight, I
    I knew you
    Hand under my sweatshirt
    Baby, kiss it better, I
