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
