Taylor Swift - Cardigan - Peter Cifras

[Verse I]
 
C
  Forgive me, Peter
    C/B
My lost fearless leader
     Am7
In closets like cedar
    Gsus4                          Fmaj7
Preserved from when we were just kids
                   Gsus4    G
Is it something I did?
     C
The goddess of timing
      C/B
Once found us beguiling
     Am7
She said she was trying
   Gsus4
Peter, was she lying?
    Fmaj7                      Gsus4  G
My ribs get the feeling she did
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
   Am         G       F
And I didn't wanna come down
    Am            G          F
I thought it was just goodbye for now
 
[Chorus]
 
         Dm
You said you were gonna grow up
F
Then you were gonna come find me
Am
said you were gonna grow up
G
Then you were gonna come find me
 C                                      G
   But I knew you, dancin' in your Levi's
                              F
   Drunk under a streetlight, I
                             G
   I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt
 
   Baby, kiss it better, I
 
Dm                                        G
   And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                       F
   Under someone's bed
                                           G
   You put me on and said I was your favorite
 
[Verse II]
 
Dm                                 G
   A friend to all is a friend to none
                                F
   Chase two girls, lose the one
 
   When you are young, they assume you
           G
know nothing
 
[Chorus]
 
C
   But I knew you
                                G
   Playing hide-and-seek and
                            F
   Giving me your weekends, I
 
   I knew you
                            G
   Your heartbeat on the High Line
 
   Once in twenty lifetimes and
 
Dm
You said you were gonna grow up
 F
Then you were gonna come find me
 Am
Said you were gonna grow up
 G
Thеn you were gonna come find mе
 Dm
Said you were gonna grow up
 F
Then you were gonna come find me
 Am
Words from the mouths of babes
 G                F        Dm
Promises oceansssss deep
        C           C/B     Am7    Gsus4
But never to keep
              Fmaj7   Fmaj7    Gsus4    G
Oh, never to keep
 
[Verse III]
 
        C
Are you still a mind reader?
  C/B
A natural scene stealer?
      Am7
I've heard great things, Peter
     Gsus4                  Fmaj7
But life was always easier on you
               Gsus4    G
Than it was on me
 
But
 
[Bridge]
                    F
   To kiss in cars, and downtown bars
                      Am
   Was all we needed
                    G
   You drew stars around my scars
                        F
   But now I'm bleedin'
C
   'Cause I knew you
                               G
   Steppin' on the last train
                                F
   Marked me like a bloodstain, I
 
   I knew you
                            G
   Tried to change the ending
 
   Peter losin' Wendy, I
C
   I knew you
                           G                  F
   Leavin' like a father, runnin' like water, I
 
   When you are young, they assume you
           G
know nothing
                                  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
 
             C                            Am
And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn
        F                  G
As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return
           C                           Am
With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned
        F                         G
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned
          C                              Am
And you said you'd come and get me, but you were twenty-five
          F                      G
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
 C                          Am
Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life
 
[Outro]
 
F                           G
Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried
    Am                       G
To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days)
               F
When you were mine
F                                   Am
when I felt like I was an old cardigan
                          C
   Under someone's bed and
                                      G
   You put me on and said I was your favorite
 
         Am                    G
But the woman who sits by the window
                F           Dm
Has turned out   the light
