Mackenzie Johnson - Cardigan Acoustic Chords

[Verse 1]
Am7                      G
Vintage tee, brand new phone
                    F
High heels on cobblestones
                                          G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Am7                   G
Sequin smile, black lipstick
           F
Sensual politics
                                           G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
 
 
[Chorus]
C
But I knew you
                 G
Dancin' in your Levi's
 
Drunk under a streetlight, I
F
I knew you
                  G
Hand under my sweatshirt
 
Baby, kiss it better, I
 
 
[Refrain]
F                                      G
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
 
Under someone's bed
F                                     G
You put me on and said I was your favorite
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am7                             G
A friend to all is a friend to none
                           F
Chase two girls, lose the one
                                           G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
 
 
[Chorus]
C
But I knew you
                  G
Playing hide-and-seek and
 
Giving me your weekends, I
F
I knew you
                        G
Your heartbeat on the High Line
 
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
 
 
[Refrain]
F                                    G
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
 
Under someone's bed
F                                    G
You put me on and said I was your favorite
 
Am7 G F F
 
[Bridge]
           Am
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
              G
Was all we needed
           F
You drew stars around my scars
               G
But now I'm bleedin'
 
 
[Chorus]
 C
'Cause I knew you
                 G
Steppin' on the last train
 
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
F
I knew you
                      G
Tried to change the ending
 
Peter losing Wendy, I
C
I knew you
                  G
Leavin' like a father
                    F
Running like water, I
                                           G
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
 
 
[Verse 3]
                  C
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
               G
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
               F
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
                  G
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
             C
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
           G
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
              F
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
                G
And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
                       F
And I knew you'd come back to me
            G
You'd come back to me
                F
And you'd come back to me
                G
And you'd come back
 
 
[Refrain]
F                                     G
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
 
Under someone's bed
F                                     G
You put me on and said I was your favorite
