Things get a little weird with the last chorus, but to be honest, it sounds just as good
with the normal chorus chords.
[Verse 1]
(mostly palm muted)
E5
walkin outside labyrinthian over
cracks along under the trees
Asus2
i know this town grounded in a compass
cardinal landing in the dogwood
E5
i keep goin over it over & over
my steps iterate my shame
Asus2
how come every outcome's such a comedown
lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
E5
i kept sayin i just wanted to see you
sayin what's wrong with that?
Asus2
needle shakin outlines in a compass
every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
(strum the first Eadd9 upwards)
Eadd9
i knew it when i
C#m7
saw it
C#m9 C#m7 C#m
so i did just what i wanted
Bsus4 F#m
so i go through with this
A
i knew happiness when i saw it
[Verse 2]
(same deal with palm muting)
E5
i saw your boyfriend at the port authority
that's a sort of fucked up place
Asus2
well so i averted my stride on a quick one
he's coming back from goin over your place, huh
E5
i feel like we could forget about it
i feel like i could mellow out
Asus2
i don't feel undone in a big way
there's nothing really bad to be upset about, well
E5
just when i thought i was getting better i
woke up on the ground
Asus2
an appointment or a disappointment
any outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus 2]
Eadd9 C#m7
as if i needed a reminder
C#m9 C#m7 C#m
that i do only what i wanna
Bsus4 F#m
so i go through with this
[Verse 3]
(palm mute and mostly stick to the root notes)
E
walkin out in the nighttime springtime
needling my way home
A
i saw leah on the bus a few months ago
B
i saw some old friends at her funeral
C#m
my steps keep splitting my grief through these
(Some weird C#m that looks like: E|-0-9-11-11-x-x-|)
solipsistic moods
A
i should call my parents when i think of them
i should tell my friends when i love them
E5
maybe i should've got out a bit more
when you guys where still in town
Asus2
but i got too caught up in my own shit
that's how every outcome's such a comedown
[Final Chorus]
Eadd9 C#m7
i knew it when i saw it
C#m9 C#m7 C#m
so i did just what i wanted
Bsus4
so i go
(Some weird A7 that looks like: E|5-4-6-6-0-0|e, or maybe those top two notes are muted)
through with this i knew happiness
(Some weird Asus/F# that looks like E|2-x-2-2-0-0|e)
when i saw it
