The World At Large Cifras

The World At Large
Modest Mouse
 
I wrote this because these chords sound fuller when playing solo acoustic.
 
Play on capo 4
 
D      xx0232
A      x02220
A6     x02222
Gmaj7  3x0002 or xx5432
F#m    244222
 
**You should replace A w/ A6 if playing arpeggiated chords**
 
 
[Intro]
D - A - Gmaj7 - F#m - A
 
D
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
       A
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Gmaj7
Walked away to another plan.
F#m                        A
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
  D                            A
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Gmaj7
Went to the porch to have a thought.
F#m.                 A
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
D
You don't know where and you don't know when.
        A
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Gmaj7
Walk along to another day.
F#m                         A
Work a little harder, work another way.
 
     D
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
      A
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
      Gmaj7
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
          F#m                      A
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?
 
D - A - Gmaj7 - F#m - A
 
    D
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
   A
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
  Gmaj7
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
   F#m                      A
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.
  A                                                            Gmaj7
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.
 
F#m - A
 
  D
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
     A
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Gmaj7
Walked on off to another spot.
  F#m                   A
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
      D
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
    A                                                  Gmaj7
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
 
F#m - A
D - A - Gmaj7 - F#m - A
 
    D
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
A
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Gmaj7
Outside, water like air was great.
  F#m                 A
I didn't know what I had that day.
D
Walk a little farther to another plan.
    A                                            Gmaj7
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.
 
F#m - A
 
  D
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
       A
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
   Gmaj7
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
   F#m                A
My thoughts were so loud.
