old friends Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wal[D]king outside labyrinthine
Over cracks along under the trees
[G]I know this town grounded
in a compass
Cardinal landed in the dogwood

[Verse 2]
I [D]keep going over it, over and over
My steps iterate my shame
[A]How come [G]every outcome
is such a comedown?
Lately afternoon with the
shades drawn down

[Verse 3]
[D]I kept saying I just wanted to see it
Saying, "What's wrong with that?"
[G]Needle shaking out lines in the compass
Every outcome is such a comedown
[D]

[Verse 4]
I knew it when I [G]saw it
So I did just what I [Bm]wanted
So I go [G]through with this
I knew happiness when [Em]I saw it
I saw your [D]boyfriend at the port authority

[Verse 5]
[D]It's a
sort of fucked up place
Well, so I aver[G]ted my stride
on a quick one
He's coming back from going

[Verse 6]
over to your place, huh?
[D]I feel like I could forget about it
I feel like I can mellow out
I don't [G]feel undone in a big way
There's nothing really
bad to be upset about

[Verse 7]
[D]But when I thought I was getting better
I woke up on the ground
An appoint[G]ment, oh disappointment
A set back, oh another comedown
[D]

[Verse 8]
As if I needed a re[G]minder
I do only what I [Bm]wanna
So I go [G]through with this

[Verse 9]
[D]Walking out in the night-
time springtime
Needling my way home
[Em]I saw [G]Leah on the bus a few months ago
I saw some old friends at her funeral
[A]My

[Verse 10]
[Bm]steps keep splitting my grief
Through [D]these solipsistic moods
[A]I should [G]call my parents when
I think of them
Should tell my friends when I love [Em]them

[Verse 11]
[D]Maybe I should have gone
out a bit more
And you guys are still in town
[G]I got too caught up in my own shit
It's how every outcome
is such a comedown
[D]

[Verse 12]
I knew it when I [G]saw it
Oh, I did just what I [Bm]wanted
So I go [G]through with this
I knew happiness when I [Em]saw it
I saw it
[A][Em]
