Tuning: E A D G B E
Use barre chords to make it sound more like the record except for the E chord in the chorus.
At the start of the lines where it switches to the A chord, he "walks down" from barring the E chord
(which starts on the second fret of the 5th string) by barring the whole second fret (starting on the 6th string)
before opening up to the A chord. He doesn't really strum all of the strings, but strums mainly the 6th
string and a bit of the 5th.
He does the "walk down" part right at the start of the lines that switch to the A chord
and then plays the A chord where I have indicated it.
[Verse]
Ewalking outside labyrinthian over
cracks along under the trees
I know tAhis town grounded in a compass
cardinal landed in the dogwood
EI keep going over it over and over
my steps iterate my shame
how come Aevery outcome's such a comedown
lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
EI kept saying I just wanted to see you
saying what's wrong with that?
needles sAhaking outlines in a compass
every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
EI knew it when I saAw it
so I did just what I wC#manted
F#mso I go through wiAth this
AI knew happiness when I saw it
[Verse]
EI saw your boyfriend at the port authority
that's a sort of fucked up place
well, so I aAverted my stride on a quick one
he's coming back from going over your place, huh
EI feel like we could forget about it
I feel like I could mellow out
I don't Afeel undone in a big way
there's nothing really bad to be upset about
Ejust when I thought I was getting better
I woke up on the ground
an Aappointment or a disappointment
a setback, oh another comedown
[Chorus]
Eas if I needed a Areminder
oh, I do only what I C#mwanna
F#mso I go Athrough with this...
[Verse]
Ewalking out in the nighttime springtime
needling my way home
I saw ALeah on the bus a few months ago
I saw some old friends at her funeral
C#mmy steps keep splitting my grief through
Ethese solipsistic moods
I should Acall my parents when I think of them
should tell my friends when I love them
Emaybe I should have gone out a bit more
when you guys were still in town
I got Atoo caught up in my own shit
that's how every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
Eand I knew it when I Asaw it
oh I did just what I C#mwanted
F#mso I go Athrough with this
AI knew happiness when I saw it
