The acoustic (solo) version by Adrianne Lenker
I made some corrections! Sorry for the earlier mistakes.
I also tabbed out the intro/solo.
Still their best song in my opinion.

[Verse 1]
F C/G G F
Years, days, makes no difference to me, babe
C G F
You look exactly the same to me
F C/G G F
Ain’t no time, crossing your legs inside the diner
C/G G F
Raising your coffee to your lips, the steam
[Chorus]
F C/G F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
F C/G
Wrapping her left arm around your right
Cmaj9/G Am C/G Am C/G
Ready to walk you through the night
[Verse 2]
F C/G G F
You whisper to a restless ear, “can you get me out of here?
C/G G F
This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?”
F C/G G F
You were asking me how to get you free
C/G G F
I only know the recipe to roam
[Chorus]
F C/G F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
F C/G
Wrapping her left arm around your right
Cmaj9/G Am C/G Am C/G
Ready to walk you through the night
[Verse 3]
F C/G G F
Old stars filling up my throat
C/G G F
You gave em to me when I was born, now they’re coming out
F C/G G F
Laying there on the hospital bed, eyes were narrow, blue and red
C G F
You took a draw of breath and said to me
[Chorus]
F C/G F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
F C/G
Wrapping her left arm around your right
Cmaj9/G Am C/G Am C/G
Ready to walk you through the night

Old friends, old mothers, dogs and brothers

There’s only so much letting go you can ask someone to do

So I keep you by my side, I will not give you to the tide

I'll even walk you in my stride, Marie
