Modest Mouse – The World At Large (Guitar)

D
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.

       A6
If the world's at large, why should I remain?

Bm
Walked away to another plan.

F#m
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.

  D                            A6
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.

Bm
Went to the porch to have a thought.

F#m
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.

D
You don't know where and you don't know when.

        A6
But you still got your words and you got your friends.

Bm
Walk along to another day.

F#m
Work a little harder, work another way.

     D
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.

      A6
We'll float on maybe would you understand?

      Bm
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?

          F#m
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

    D
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.

   A6
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.

  Bm
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.

   F#m
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.

    D
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.

  A6                                                            Bm  F#m
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

  D
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.

     A6
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.

Bm
Walked on off to another spot.

  F#m
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.

      D
Did I want love? Did I need to know?

    A6                                                  Bm  F#m
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

    D
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.

A6
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.

Bm
Outside, water like air was great.

  F#m
I didn't know what I had that day.

D
Walk a little farther to another plan.

    A6                                           Bm  F#m
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

  D
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.

       A6
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.

   Bm
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.

   F#m
My thoughts were so loud.

D A6 Bm F#m  (x4)
