Chords

Artist: Modest Mouse Album: Good News for People Who Love Bad News Song: The View These chords are meant to be easy enough to sing along with, so they're not 100% like the real song, but hey, first chords ever for this song.
Am      Em   
Your gun went off

         F                       G6
Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you

Am       Em         F
My mouth runs on too
---
Am          Em
Shouts from both sides,

      F                       G6
"Well we've got the land but they've got the view!"

Am       Em         F   
Well now here's the clue

Am      Em
Life it rents us

    F                  G6
And yeah I hope it put plenty on you

     Am     Em         F
Well I hope mine did too
--- Chorus:
C                    G6
As life gets longer, awful feels softer

         Em                  F     
Well it feels pretty soft to me

         C              G6
And if it takes shit to make bliss,

           Em              F
then I feel pretty blissfully

For every invention made how much time did we save?

We're not much farther than we were in the cave
--- (Solo) **No chords are that apparent but I pulled this together, sounds 10% like the real song but its something.**
Am E G6 F (listen to the song for timing)

Breakdown: Strum each of these chords once or twice.
   C                  G6
As life gets longer, awful feels softer, and it

Em                     F
feels pretty soft to me

       C                G6
And if it takes shit to make bliss,

       Em                  F
Well I feel pretty blissfully

   C                        G6  
If life's not beautiful without the pain,

              Em                           F
Well I'd just rather never ever even see...   beauty again

        C                 G6
Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer

      Em                      F       
And it... feels pretty soft to me, oh hooo
--- Pre Chorus: (Again Isaac screaming into the police speaker thing)
C                    G6                         Em
For every good deed done there is a crime committed

       F
We are fixed

C                G6                              Em
For every step ahead we could have just been seated

        F
We are fixed
--- Chorus Outro:
C                    G6
As life gets longer, awful feels softer

         Em                  F     
Well it feels pretty soft to me

         C              G6
And if it takes shit to make bliss,

           Em              F
then I feel pretty blissfully

C             G6 
       We are fixed

Em            F
       We are fixed

C             G6
       We are fixed

Em                    F
       Right where we... stand
