A5      E5   
Your gun went off

         F5                       G5
Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you

A5       E5         F5
My mouth runs on too

---

A5          E5
Shouts from both sides,

      F5                       G5
"Well we've got the land but they've got the view!"

A5       E5         F5   
Well now here's the clue



A5      E5
Life it rents us

    F5                  G5
And yeah I hope it put plenty on you

     A5     E5         F5
Well I hope mine did too

Chorus:

C5                    G5
As life gets longer, awful feels softer

         E5                  F5     
Well it feels pretty soft to me

         C5              G5
And if it takes shit to make bliss,

           E5              F5
then I feel pretty blissfully

Well now here's the clue

  
                
A5     E5       F5          G5              
         We are fiiiiiiiiiiiiiixed 
   
A5     E5              F5
         Right where we stand

Chorus:


C5                    G5
As life gets longer, awful feels softer

         E5                  F5     
Well it feels pretty soft to me

         C5              G5

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

C5                     G5                         E5
For every invention made how much time did we save?

                                  F5
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.**

A5 E5 G5 F5 (listen to the song for timing)

Breakdown: Strum each of these chords once or twice.

   C5                  G5
As life gets longer, awful feels softer, and it

E5                     F5
feels pretty soft to me

       C5                G5
And if it takes shit to make bliss,

       E5                  F5
Well I feel pretty blissfully

   C5                        G5  
If life's not beautiful without the pain,

              E5                           F5
Well I'd just rather never ever even see...   beauty again

        C5                 G5
Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer

      E5                      F5       
And it... feels pretty soft to me, oh hooo

Pre Chorus: (Again Isaac screaming into the police speaker thing)

C5                    G5                         E5
For every good deed done there is a crime committed

       F5
We are fixed

C5                G5                              E5
For every step ahead we could have just been seated

        F5
We are fixed

Chorus Outro:

C5                    G5
As life gets longer, awful feels softer

         E5                  F5     
Well it feels pretty soft to me

         C5              G5
And if it takes shit to make bliss,

           E5              F5
then I feel pretty blissfully

C5             G5 
       We are fixed

E5            F5
       We are fixed

C5             G5
       We are fixed

E5                    F5
       Right where we... stand
