Vintage tee, brand new Bbphone
High heels on cobbleAbstones
When you are young,
they assume you know Bbnothing Fm
Sequin smile, black lipBbstick
We don’t know poliAbtics
When you are young,
they assume you know Bbnothing Eb
But I knew you, dancin’ in your BbLevi’s
right under a streetlight, I… Ab
I knew you,
hand holding my Bbsweatshirt
maybe, knit it better, I. Fm
And when I felt like I was an old Bbcardigan
under someone’s bed Ab
You put me on and said I was your Bbfavorite
Fm
A friend to all is a friend to Bbnone
Chase two birds, lose the Abone
When you are young,
they assume you know Bbnothin’ Eb
But I knew you,
playing hide-and-Bbseek and
calling me on weekends, AbI…
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the BbHigh Line
once in 20 lifetimes, I…Ab
And when I felt like I was an old Cmcardigan
Under someone’s bed Eb
You put me on and said I was your Abfavorite
Ab Cm
Bb Ab
To ride in Abcars and planet Mars
was all we Cmneeded.
You drew Bbstars around my scars
but now I’m Abbleedin’
Eb
‘Cause I knew you,
steppin’ on the Bblast train
marked me like a mudstain, AbI…
I knew you,
tried to change the Bbending
Peter losing Wendy, I… Eb
I knew you,
speakin’ like a Bbfather
running like water, I… Ab
And when you are young,
they assume you know Bbnothing
But I knew you’d Eblinger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you’d Bbhaunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of Absmoke would hang around this long
‘Cause I knew Bbeverything when I was young
I knew I’d Ebmiss you for the longest time
Chasin’ Bbshadows in the grocery line
I knew you’d Abmiss me once the thrill expired
And you’d be Bbstandin’ in my front porch light
And I knew you’d come Fmback to me
You’d come Bbback to me
And you’d come Abback to me
And you’d come Bbback Ab
And when I felt like I was an old Cmcardigan
Under someone’s bed Eb
You put me on and said I was your Abfavorite
