Float On (Modest Mouse)

Chords used: C-Em-Am



capo 6

[C] [Em] [Am] [Em] [All the way through]

I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on any way, well.

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on good news is on the way.

And we'll all float on, ok...

[Bm]There's a map of the world on the wall in your room
Green [Em]pins where ya wanna [Bm]go
White [G]pins where ya been, there isn't even ten,
You're al[D]ready feeling old

[Bm]Pretty faces stare back
From a magazine stack
That you [Em]read when
You're feeling [Bm]bored
Look through a [G]telescope lens
It doesn't make sense
You [D]think you've been there before

Some [G]far off feelings
Some up close kind of [D]ache
A [G]wide screen reason to
Look the other [F#]way

There's a [Bm]place by the lake
That you go when it's late
It was [Em]summer and the crowds were [Bm]gone
And you [G]sit all alone with
With your thoughts, gettin stoned
Just [D]waitin for some peace to come

Like the [Bm]thing that you
Tried that you thought you liked
For a[Em]minute then it all felt [Bm]wrong
So your [G]changin again
All your clothes, all your friends
Just the [D]same as it ever was

Some [G]far off feelings
Some up close kind of [D]ache
A [G]wide screen reason to
Look the other [F#]way

[Bm] [G] [Bm] [G] [F#]
[Bm] [G] [A]

It's a [Bm]road that you've paved
Over Indian graves and
You [Em]wonder why your dreams are [Bm]crazed
So you [G]cling to your wife,
Your kids, and you life
There's [D]nothin that you're gonna save

Put the [Bm]razor to your face,
Hot water for a shave
Kill the [Em]shadow of yester[Bm]day
Clean [G]shirt, clean pants,
Clean sleet second chance
You're [D]goin by another name

Some [G]far off feelings
Some up close kind of [D]ache
A [G]wide screen reason to
Look the other [F#]way

The Rip (Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood cover Portishead)



[Em]As she walks in the [F]room,
Scented and [Em]tall,
Hesitating [C]once more.
[Am]And as I take on my[Bb]self,
And the bitterness I [Am]felt,
Realize that [G]love flows

Chorus:
[Em]White horses, [F]
They will take me a[Em]way,
And the [C]tenderness I [Am]feel,
Will send the [Bb]dark under[Am]neath,
Will I fo[G]llow?

[Em]Through the glory of life, [F]
I'm scattered on the [Em]floor,
Disappoin[C]ted and sore. [Am]
And in my thoughts I have [Bb]bled,
For the riddles I've been {Am]fed,
Another lie moves [G]over, while

Chorus [x2]
