Old Friends tab by Pinegrove

[Verse]

E
walking outside labyrinthian over
cracks along under the trees
    A
i know this town grounded in a compass
cardinal landed in the dogwood
E
i keep going over it and over and over
my steps iterate my shame
     A
how come every 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
     A
needles shaking out lines in a compass
every outcome's such a comedown

[Chorus]

E         A
i knew it when i saw it
           C#m
so i did just what i wanted
F#m        A
so i go through with this
F#m        A
i knew happiness when i saw it
E


[Verse]

E
saw your boyfriend at the port authority
sorta fucked up place
A
well so i adverted my stride on a quick one
just coming back from going over your place huh
E
i feel like we could forget about it
i feel like a mellow out
A
i don't feel undone in a big way
there's nothing really bad to be upset about
E
so when i thought i was getting better
i woke up on the ground
A
and appointment or disappointment
step back going on the come down


[Chorus]

E     A
as if i needed a reminder
          C#m
oh i do only what i wanna
F#m        A
so i go through with this
F#m        A
i knew happiness when i saw it


[Verse]

E
walking out in the nighttime springtime
needling my way home
A
i saw leah on the bus a few months ago
i saw some old friends at her funeral
E
my steps keep splitting my grief through
these solipsistic moods
A
i should call my parents when i think of them
should tell my friends when i love them
E
maybe i should have gone out a bit more
when you guys are still in town
A
i got too caught up in my own shit
how every outcome's such a comedown


[Chorus]

E      A
and i knew it when i saw it
           C#m
oh i did just what i wanted
F#m        A
so i go through with this
F#m        A
i knew happiness when i saw it?
