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
