Old Friends by Pinegrove
Old Friends
[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

Things get a little weird with the last chorus, but to be honest, it sounds just as good
with the normal chorus chords.

Walking outside labyrinthine
Over cracks along under the trees
I know this town grounded in a compass
Cardinal landed in the dogwood
I keep going over it over and over
My steps iterate my shame
How come every outcome's such a comedown?
Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
I kept saying I just wanted to see you
Saying, "What's wrong with that?"
Needles shaking outlines in a compass
Every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus 1]
I knew it when I saw it
So I did just what I wanted
So I go through with this
I knew happiness when I saw it
I saw your boyfriend at the port authority
It's a sort of fucked up place
Well so I averted my stride on a quick one
He's coming back from going over to your place, huh?
I feel like I could forget about it
I feel like I could mellow out
I don't feel undone in a big way
There's nothing really bad to be upset about
But when I thought I was getting better
I woke up on the ground
An appointment or disappointment
I set back, oh, another comedown
[Chorus 2]
As if I needed a reminder
Oh, I do only what I want to
So I go through with this
I knew happiness when I saw it
Walking out in the nighttime springtime
Needling my way home
I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago
I saw some old friends at her funeral
My steps keep splitting my grief
Through these solipsistic moods
I should call my parents when I think of them
Should tell my friends when I love them
Maybe I should have gone out a bit more
When you guys were still in town
I got too caught up in my own shit
It's how every outcome's such a comedown
[Chorus 3]
And I knew it when I saw it
Oh, I did just what I wanted
So I go through with this
I knew happiness when I saw it
