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]


walking outsid

e labyrinthian

 over
cracks along under the trees
        
I know this to

wn grounded in

 a compass
cardinal landed in the dogwood

I keep going o

ver it over an

d over
my steps iterate my shame
         
how come every

 outcome's suc

h 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 shakin

g outlines in 

a compass
every outcome's such a comedown


[Chorus]

             
I knew it when

     
 I saw it
              
so I did just 

        
what I wanted
           
so I go throug

     
h with this 
             
I knew happine

      
ss when I saw 

it


[Verse]


I saw your boy

friend at the 

port authority
that's a sort of fucked up place 
            
well, so I ave

rted my stride

 on a quick on

e
he's coming back from going over your place, huh

I feel like we

 could forget 

about it
I feel like I could mellow out 
        
I don't feel u

ndone in a big

 way
there's nothing really bad to be upset about

just when I th

ought I was ge

tting better
I woke up on the ground 
   
an appointment

 or a disappoi

ntment
a setback, oh another comedown


[Chorus]

             
as if I needed

   
 a reminder
              
oh, I do only 

       
what I wanna 
     
so I go throug

h with this...


[Verse]


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 g

rief through

these solipsis

tic moods 
         
I should call 

my parents whe

n I think of t

hem
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 caug

ht up in my ow

n shit
that's how every outcome's such a comedown


[Chorus]

             
and I knew it 

       
when I saw it 
              
oh I did just 

       
what I wanted
     
so I go throug

h with this 

I knew happine

ss when I saw 

it
