The View

Modest Mouse

Composed by: Isaac Brock / Modest Mouse
key: Am Tuning: E A D G B E
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

[Verse 2]

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       F          G6              
         We are fiiiiiiiiiiiiiixed 
Am     Em              F
         Right where we stand

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

Am     Em       F          G6               
         We are fiiiiiiiiiiiiiixed 
Am     Em              F
         Right where we are

[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

[Pre-Solo] 
(Isaac Screaming into some police speaker-style thing)

C                     G6                         Em
For every invention made how much time did we save?
                                  F
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
