Intro
[Verse]
E MajorE
walking outside labyrinthian over
cracks along under the trees
A augmentedA
i know this town grounded in a compass
cardinal landed in the dogwood
E MajorE
i keep going over it and over and over
my steps iterate my shame
A augmentedA
how come every outcome's such a comedown
lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
E MajorE
i kept saying i just wanted to see you
saying what's wrong with that
A augmentedA
needles shaking out lines in a compass
every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
E MajorE A augmentedA
i knew it when i saw it
C# minorC#m
so i did just what i wanted
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
so i go through with this
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
i knew happiness when i saw it
E MajorE
[Verse]
E MajorE
saw your boyfriend at the port authority
sorta fucked up place
A augmentedA
well so i adverted my stride on a quick one
just coming back from going over your place huh
E MajorE
i feel like we could forget about it
i feel like a mellow out
A augmentedA
i don't feel undone in a big way
there's nothing really bad to be upset about
E MajorE
so when i thought i was getting better
i woke up on the ground
A augmentedA
and appointment or disappointment
step back going on the come down
[Chorus]
E MajorE A augmentedA
as if i needed a reminder
C# minorC#m
oh i do only what i wanna
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
so i go through with this
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
i knew happiness when i saw it
[Verse]
E MajorE
walking out in the nighttime springtime
needling my way home
A augmentedA
i saw leah on the bus a few months ago
i saw some old friends at her funeral
E MajorE
my steps keep splitting my grief through
these solipsistic moods
A augmentedA
i should call my parents when i think of them
should tell my friends when i love them
E MajorE
maybe i should have gone out a bit more
when you guys are still in town
A augmentedA
i got too caught up in my own shit
how every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
E MajorE A augmentedA
and i knew it when i saw it
C# minorC#m
oh i did just what i wanted
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
so i go through with this
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
i knew happiness when i saw it?
