Chords

[Verse]
Dm                         G
 Vintage tee, brand new phone

                        F
 High heels on cobblestones

                                          G
 When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Dm                        G
 Sequin smile, black lipstick

              F
 Sensual politics

                                          G
 When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[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, running like water, I

F                                                G
 'Cause when you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Bridge]
                 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
Chasing shaddows in the grocery line

             F
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

             G
And you'd be standing in my front porch light

                      Dm
And I knew you'd come back to me

           G
You'd come back to me

               Dm
And you'd come back to me

               G
And you'd come back
[Post Chorus]
F                                  Am
 And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed

C                                  F
 You put me on and said I was your favorite
[Outro]
F                             Em
  And you'd come back to me
D G Em A [Verse]
D         G                     Em
 Salt air, and the rust on your door

                A
 I never needed anything more

D        G               Em
 Whispers of "Are you sure?"

               A
 "Never have I ever before"
[Chorus]
    D
But I can see us lost in the memory

G                                     Em
August slipped away into a moment in time

                     A
'Cause it was never mine

    D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

G                                     Em
August slipped away like a bottle of wine

                      A
'Cause you were never mine
[Bridge]
D                                          G
 Back when we were still changin' for the better

                   Em
 Wanting was enough

                      A
 For me, it was enough

                 D
 To live for the hope of it all

                      G
 Cancel plans just in case you'd call

                                  Em
 And say, "Meet me behind the mall"

                       A
 So much for summer love and saying "us"

                      D         G
 'Cause you weren't mine to lose

                      Em  A
 You weren't mine to lose
C#m B C#m B G#m C#m [Bridge]
 F#m                      E                   G#m  C#m
 Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

F#m               E                G#m  C#m
 They count me out time and time again

 F#m                      E                   G#m  C#m
 Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind

F#m              E
 But I come back stronger than a 90's trend
[Verse]
 C#m                          B              C#m  B
 Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark

 C#m                          B              A
 Show me the places where the others gave you scars

C#m             B
 Now this is an open-shut case

C#m                  B                           C#m
 I guess I should've known from the look on your face

                B                   A
 Every bait and switch was a work of art
[Chorus]
E                  B               F#m
 The more that you say, the less I know

              C#m          E
 Wherever you stray, I follow

                 B              F#m
 I'm begging for you to take my hand

          C#m              E
 Wreck my plans, that's my man

                  B                    F#m
 You know that my train could take you home

          C#m         E
 Anywhere else is hollow

                 B              F#m
 I'm begging for you to take my hand

          C#m              E
 Wreck my plans, that's my man

                  B               F#m
The more that you say, the less I know

             C#m          E
Wherever you stray, I follow

                B              F#m
I'm begging for you to take my hand

         C#m
Wreck my plans, that's my man
C#m B F#m A
