CAPO: 1
[Verse 1]
Em Vintage tee, brand new Aphone
High heels on cobbleGstones
When you are young, they assume you know Anothing
Em Sequin smile, black lipAstick
Sensual poliGtics
When you are young, they assume you know Anothing
[Chorus]
D But I knew you
Dancin' in your ALevi's
Drunk under a streetlight, I
G I knew you
Hand under my Asweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I
[Refrain]
Em And when I felt like I was an old Acardigan
Under someone's bed
G You put me on and said I was your Afavorite
[Verse 2]
Em A friend to all is a friend to Anone
Chase two girls, lose the Gone
When you are young, they assume you know Anothing
[Chorus]
D But I knew you
Playing hide-and-Aseek and
Giving me your weekends, I
G I knew you
Your heartbeat on the AHigh Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
[Refrain]
G And when I felt like I was an old Bmcardigan
Under someone's bed
D You put me on and said I was your Gfavorite Bm A G
[Bridge]
To kiss in Gcars and downtown bars
Was all we Bmneeded
You drew Astars around my scars
But now I'm Gbleedin'
[Chorus]
D'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the Alast train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
G I knew you
Tried to change the Aending
Peter losing Wendy, I
D I knew you
Leavin' like a Emfather
Running like water, I
G And when you are young, they assume you know Anothing
[Verse 3]
But I knew you'd Dlinger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd Ahaunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of Gsmoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew Aeverything when I was young
I knew I'd Dcurse you for the longest time
Chasin' Ashadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd Gmiss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be Astandin' in my front porch light
And I knew you'd come Emback to me
You'd come Aback to me
And you'd come Gback to me
And you'd come Aback
[Refrain]
G And when I felt like I was an old Bmcardigan
Under someone's bed
D You put me on and said I was your Gfavorite

[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Rebekah rode Amup on the afternoon Ctrain, it was sunny
Her Gsaltbox house on the Amcoast took her mind off CSt. Louis
G Bill was the Amheir to the Standard Oil Emname and Cmoney
And the Gtown said, "How did a Ammiddle-class divorCcée do it?"
G The wedding was Amcharming, if a little Cgauche
There's only so far new money goes
G They picked out a Amhome and called it "HoliCday House"
G Their parties were Amtasteful, if a little loud
Em The doctor had Ctold him to settle down
G It must have been Amher fault his heart Cgave out
[Chorus]
And they said
D"There goes the Glast great American Cdynasty G
D Who knows, if Gshe never showed up, what could've Cbeen G
D There goes the Gmaddest woman this town has Cever seen
She had a Gmarvelous timeAm ruining everything"C
[Verse 2]
G Rebekah gave Amup on the Rhode Island Cset forever
G Flew in all her AmBitch Pack friends from the Ccity
Filled the Gpool with champagne and Amswam with the big names
And Emblew through the money on the Cboys and the ballet
G And losing on Amcard game bets with CDalí
[Chorus]
And they said
D"There goes the Glast great American Cdynasty G
D Who knows, if Gshe never showed up, what could've Cbeen G
D There goes the Gmost shameless woman this town has Cever seen
She had a Dmarvelous time Gruining everything" C G
[Bridge]
Am They say she was Emseen on occasion
GPacing the rocks, staring Dout at the midnight Amsea
And in a Emfeud with her neighbor
GShe stole his dog and Ddyed it key lime Amgreen
Fifty Emyears is a long time
GHoliday House sat Dquietly on that Ambeach
Free of Emwomen with madness, their Gmen and bad habits
And Dthen it was bought by Dme G C G
[Chorus]
D Who knows, if Gshe never showed up, what could've Cbeen G
D There goes the Gloudest woman this town has Cever seen G
I had a Dmarvelous time Gruining everything C G
[Outro]
I had a Dmarvelous tiGmeC G ruining everything
A Dmarvelous tiGmeC G ruining everything
A Dmarvelous tGime C G

D Salt airG, and the rust on your Emdoor
I never needed anything more D
WhispersG of "Are you Emsure?"
"Never have I ever before"
[Chorus]
But DI can see us lost in the memory
GAugust slipped away into a moment in Emtime
'Cause it was never Amine
And DI can see us twisted in bedsheets
GAugust sipped away like a bottle of Emwine
'Cause you were never Amine
[Verse 2]
D Your backG beneath the Emsun
Wishin' I could write my name on it D
Will you callG when you're back at Emschool?
I remember thinkin' I had you
[Chorus]
But BmI can see us lost in the memory

[Bridge]
D Back when we were still changin' for the Gbetter
Wanting was eEmnough
For me, it was eAnough
To live for the Dhope of it all
Cancel plans just in Gcase you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the Emmall"
So much for summer Alove and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mDine to lose G
You weren't mine to Emlose, Ano
[Chorus]
But DI can see us lost in the memory
GAugust slipped away into a moment in Emtime

D'Cause you were never Gmine
Never Emmine A
But do you remember?
Remember Dwhen I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

EmBack when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the Ahope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"

[Verse 1]
G I've been having a hard time adjusting
C I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
G I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
F#m I have a lot of regrets about that
Em Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
C Could've followed my fears all the way down
DAnd maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm here in your doorway
[Chorus]
I just wanted Emyou to know that Cthis is me trying G
I just wanted Bmyou to know that Cthis is me trying D
[Instrumental]
G C
[Verse 2]
G They told me all of my cages were mental
C So I got wasted like all my potential
G And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
F#m I have a lot of regrets about that
EmI was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a Csphere
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up Dhere
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey
[Chorus]
I just wanted Emyou to know that Cthis is me trying G
I just wanted Bmyou to know that Cthis is me trying D
[Post-Chorus]
At least I'm Gtrying C G F#m
[Bridge]
And it's Emhard to be at a party when I feel like an open Cwound
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is Dyou
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
[Chorus]
And I just wanted Emyou to know that Cthis is me trying G
[And maybe I don't quite know what to say]
I just wanted Bmyou to know that Cthis is me trying D

Em Tell yourself you can always Cstop
What started in beautiful Drooms

A milGlion little times

G Leave the perfume on the shelf
Em That you picked out just for him
C So you leave no trace behind
Bm Like you Ddon’t even exist
G Take the words for what they are
Em A dwindling, mercurial Chigh
A drug that only worked D
The first few hundred times
[Chorus]
Bm And that's the thing about iCllicit affairs
And Dclandestine meetings and stolen stares
They Bmshow their truth one Csingle time
But they Dlie and they lie and they lie
A milGlion little times
[Bridge]
And you wanna scream
GDon't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
EmLook at this godforsaken mess that you made me
CYou showed me colors you know I can't see with Danyone else
GDon't call me "kid," don't call me "baby"
EmLook at this idiotic fool that you made me
CYou taught me a secret language I can't speak with Danyone else
[Outro]
And you Emknow Gdamn Cwell
For you, I would Druin myself

Em Our coming-of-age has come and gone
D Suddenly, this summer, it's clear
Em I never had the courage of my convictions
D As long as danger is near
G And it's just around the corner, Ddarlin'
'Cause it lives in me
Em No, I could never give you peace D A D
[Chorus]
Em But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm D
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
Em All these people think love's for show
But I would Ddie for you in secret
The devil's in the Emdetails, but you got a friend in meD
Would it Embe enough if I could never give you peacDe?
[Verse 2]
Em Your integrity makes me seem small
D You paint dreamscapes on the wall
Em I talk shit with my Dfriends, it's like I'm wasAting your honorD
And you know that I'dD swing with you for the fenAces
Sit with you in the trenGches
Give you my wild, Dgive you a child
Give you the Gsilence that only comes when two people understand each other
DFamily that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother
Em Is it enough?D
But there's Grobbers to the east, clowns to the west
I'd Dgive you my sunshine, give you my best
But the Emrain is always gonna come if you're standinD' with me
[Chorus]
Em But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm D
If your cascade, ocean wave blues come
Em All these people think love's for show
But I would Ddie for you in secret
The devil's in the Emdetails, but you got a friend in meD
Would it Embe enough if I could never give you peacDe?
Would it Embe enough if I could never give you peacDe?
Would it Embe enough if I could never give you peacDe?A D
