Taylor Swift – cardigan
Key: Eb Major BPM: ♩ = 65 Time: 4/4
|Fm                      |Bb                 |
   Vintage tee, brand new phone High heels on
     |Ab                                             |Bb     |
cobblestones, when you are young they assume you know nothing
|Fm                      |Bb   |
   Sequin smile, black lipstick
           |Ab                                           |Bb     |
Sensual politics, when you are young they assume you know nothing

|Eb                              |Bb                               |
   But I knew you dancing in your Levi’s, drunk under a streetlight
|Ab                         |Bb                            |
   I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt Baby kiss it better
|Fm                                 |Bb                          |
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed
|Ab                                 |Bb      |
   You put me on and said I was your favorite

|Fm                              |Bb                            |
   A friend to all is a friend to none Chase two girls, lose the
|Ab                                          |Bb     |
 one, when you are young they assume you know nothing

|Eb                                |Bb                              |
   But I knew you, playing hide-and-seek and giving me your weekends
|Ab                                 |Bb                                |
   I knew you, your heartbeat on the High Line Once in twenty lifetimes
|Ab                                 |Cm                          |
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed
|Eb                                 |Ab      |
   You put me on and said I was your favorite

|Ab    |Cm     |Bb    |Ab    |

          |Ab                               |Cm    |
To kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed
        |Bb                               |Ab      |
You drew stars around my scars But now I’m bleeding

|Eb                                |Bb                                     |
   Cause I knew you stepping on the last train, marked me like a bloodstain
|Ab                               |Bb                       |
   I knew you, tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy
|Eb                          |Bb                       |
   I knew you, leaving like a father Running like water
|Ab                                       |Bb     |
   When you are young they assume you know nothing

                |Eb                                     |Bb                      |
But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss, I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
            |Ab                                             |Bb                         |
The smell of smoke would hang around this long, cause I knew everything when I was young
          |Eb                                     |Bb                         |
I knew I’d curse you for the longest time, chasing shadows in the grocery line
            |Ab                                           |Bb                              |
I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired, and you’d be standing in my front porch light


                     |Fm                    |Bb        |
And I knew you’d come back to me, you’d come back to me
              |Ab                        |Bb  |
And you’d come back to me, and you’d come back
|Ab                                 |Cm                          |
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someone’s bed
|Eb                                 |Ab      |
   You put me on and said I was your favorite
