Version 1
            Use barre chords to make it sound more like the record except for the E chord in the chorus. 

At the start of the lines where it switches to the A chord, he "walks down" from barring the E chord
(which starts on the second fret of the 5th string) by barring the whole second fret (starting on the 6th string)
before opening up to the A chord. He doesn't really strum all of the strings, but strums mainly the 6th
string and a bit of the 5th.
He does the "walk down" part right at the start of the lines that switch to the A chord 
and then plays the A chord where I have indicated it.


[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 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 outlines 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 
A                   
I knew happiness when I saw it


[Verse]

E
I saw your boyfriend at the port authority
that's a sort of fucked up place 
            A
well, so I averted my stride on a quick one
he's coming back from going over your place, huh
E
I feel like we could forget about it
I feel like I could mellow out 
        A
I don't feel undone in a big way
there's nothing really bad to be upset about
E
just when I thought I was getting better
I woke up on the ground 
   A
an appointment or a disappointment
a setback, oh another comedown


[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...


[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 
C#m
my steps keep splitting my grief through
E
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 were still in town 
      A
I got too caught up in my own shit
that's 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 
A
I knew happiness when I saw it
