Brand new Dirty Projectors song! I was so excited that I got the chords down for others to enjoy. 
Every chord is basic, aside from the EaddC in the intro and verse. It looks something like this:
e|--0--|
B|--0--|
G|--1--|
D|--1--|
A|--2--|
E|--2--|
[Intro]
 Am   Dm   F   Am   F   A   Am   EEaddC
[Verse 1]
AmIf you had lDmooked
You Fmight've just Amseen them
            F        A     Am    EEaddC
Strut in the background
CYou'd see the Amoceans
CSwell and the Ammountains FshookC  
          Am         F        A                   EEaddC
You'd see a million colors if you really looked
[Chorus]
FNow, Gquick, the Cnight draws Fnear
FHer Gcurtain Fspreads Cclear
FThe Gsafety's Amoff, Fbut the Egun has no Atrigger
If you had looked, you'd be no one's coward
Distance, justice, power
You'd glimpse the password
You wouldn't need the book
You'd own both slave and master if you just had looked
But now the banks all close
And nothing gets bigger
The crowd will yell, but the gun has no trigger
If you had looked, you might reconsider
Or, just maybe, you already have
They want you sleeping
You watch their garbage cook
You'd weep a bowl of tears if you had looked
But now the gate comes down
The pangs are growing dimmer
You hold a gun to your head, but the gun has no trigger

If you had looked

Strut in the background

C Am

You'd see the oceans

Swell and the mountains shook

Now, quick, the night draws near

The safety's off, but the gun has no trigger

If you had looked, you'd be no one's coward

Distance, justice, power

You'd glimpse the password

You wouldn't need the book

You'd own both slave and master if you just had looked

But now the banks all close

And nothing gets bigger

The crowd will yell, but the gun has no trigger

If you had looked, you might reconsider

Or, just maybe, you already have

They want you sleeping

You watch their garbage cook

You'd weep a bowl of tears if you had looked

But now the gate comes down

The pangs are growing dimmer

You hold a gun to your head, but the gun has no trigger
