Chords
[Verse 1]
EWalking outside labyrinthian
Over cracks along under the trees
I know thisA town grounded in a compass
Cardinal landing in the dogwood
I Ekeep going over it over and over
My steps iterate my shame
How come eveAry outcome's such a comedown?
Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
E I kept saying I just wanted to see you
Saying, "What's wrong with that?"
Needles shaAking outlines in a compass
Every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
E I knew it when I Asaw it
So, I did just what I C#m7wanted
So, I go Athrough with this
I knew happiness when F#m11I saw it
[Verse 2]
E I saw your boyfriend at the Port Authority
That's a sort of fucked up place
Well so I averAted my stride on a quick one
He's coming back from going over to your place, huh?
E I feel like I could forget about it
I feel like I could mellow out
I don't feelA undone in a big way
There's nothing really bad to be upset about
ButE when I thought I was getting better
I woke up on the ground
An appointAment or disappointment
A setback, oh, another comedown
[Chorus]
E As if I needed a reAminder
Oh, I do only what I C#m7want to
So, I go Athrough with this
[Verse 3]
E Walking out in the nighttime springtime
Needling my way home
I saw LeAah on the bus a few months ago
I saw some old friends at her funeral B
My C#m7steps keep splitting my grief
Through these Esolipsistic moods
I should callA my parents when I think of them
Should tell my friends when I F#m11love them
E Maybe I should have gone out a bit more
When you guys were still in town
I got tooA caught up in my own shit
It's how every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus]
E I knew it when I Asaw it
So, I did just what I C#m7wanted
So, I go Athrough with this
I knew happiness when F#m11I saw it
