Song: The View
Standard Tuning EADGBe (Capo optional, wherever you think it fits best)
These chords are meant to be easy enough to sing along with, so they're not 100%
like the real song, but hey, first chords ever for this song.
[Verse 1]
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
