Modest Mouse - The world at large

^DIce-age heat wave, can't complain. If the ^Aworld's at large, why should I remain? ^Gmaj7Walked away to another plan. ^F#mGonna find another place, m^Aaybe one I can stand. I ^Dmove on to another day, to a ^Awhole new town with a whole new way. ^Gmaj7Went to the porch to have a thought. F#m. A Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop. ^DYou don't know where and you don't know when. But you ^Astill got your words and you got your friends. ^Gmaj7Walk along to another day. ^F#mWork a little harder, work a^Another way.

Well ^Duh-uh baby I ain't got no plan. We'll ^Afloat on maybe would you understand? Gonna ^Gmaj7float on maybe would you understand? Well I'll ^F#mfloat on maybe would you ^Aunderstand?

The ^Ddays get shorter and the nights get cold. I l^Aike the autumn but this place is getting old. I ^Gmaj7pack up my belongings and I head for the coast. It ^F#mmight not be a lot but I ^Afeel like I'm making the most. The ^Dday's get longer and the nights smell green. I ^Aguess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.^Gmaj7

I ^Dlike songs about drifters - books about the same. They ^Aboth seem to make me feel a little less insane. ^Gmaj7Walked on off to another spot. I ^F#mstill haven't got anyw^Ahere that I want. Did I ^Dwant love? Did I need to know? Why ^Adoes it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?^Gmaj7

The ^Dmoths beat themselves to death against the lights. ^AAdding their breeze to the summer nights. ^Gmaj7Outside, water like air was great. I ^F#mdidn't know what I h^Aad that day. ^DWalk a little farther to another plan. You ^Asaid that you did, but you didn't understand.^Gmaj7

I ^Dknow that starting over is not what life's all about. But my ^Athoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth. My ^Gmaj7thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth. My ^F#mthoughts were so lo^Aud.
