Fire It Up by Modest Mouse
Fire It Up
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
D Em
Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough
G Bm
Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough
D Em
Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough
G Bm
Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough
[Verse 1]
D
Fire it up, fire it up
Em
When we finally turn it over
G
Make a beeline towards the border
Bm
Have a drink, you've had enough
D
Fire it up, fire it up
Em
If you need some conversation
G
Bring a magazine to read around
Bm
Our broke-down transportation
Fire it up
D Em
Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough
G Bm
Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough
[Verse 2]
D
Fire it up, fire it up
Em
When we find the perfect water
G
We'll hang out on the shore
Bm
Just long enough to leave our clothes there
D
Fine enough, fine enough
Em
Oh, we ate all of the oranges
G
Off the navels of our lovers
Bm
Grabbed a book and read the cover
[Chorus 1]
C G Asus2
It honestly was beautifully done
C G Asus2
Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun
C
Even if we had been sure enough
G Asus2
It's true, we really didn't know
C
Even if we knew which way to head
G Asus2
But still we probably wouldn't go
[Verse 3]
D
Fire it up, fire it up
Em
We pushed off, we're rolling boulders
G
Crashing down the mirrored stairways
Bm
Two of life's best mind canaries
D
Fire it up, fire it up
Em
When we fix the carburetor
G
Then we'll push off once again
Bm
In an hour or so later
[Chorus 2]
C G Asus2
It honestly was beautifully bold
C G Asus2
Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold
C
Even if we had been sure enough
G Asus2
It's true we really didn't know
C
Even if we knew which way to head
G Asus2
But still we probably wouldn't go
[Outro]
C G
Well, we always, well, we always
A7
Had it all, had it all
C G
Well, we always, well, we always
A7
Had it all, had it all
C G
Well, we always, well, we always
A7
Had it all

Fire it up, fire it up

Fire it up, fire it up

Just long enough to leave our clothes there
Fine enough, fine enough

But even if we had been sure enough, it's true, we really didn't know
Even if we knew which way to head, but, still, we probably wouldn't go
Fire it up, fire it up
We pushed off, we're rolling boulders
Crashing down the mirrored stairways
To a blast basement canaries
Fire it up, fire it up
When we fix the carburetor
Then we'll push off once again
In an hour or so later
It honestly was beautifully bold
Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold
Even if we had been sure enough, it's true, we really didn't know
Even if we knew which way to head, but, still, we probably wouldn't go
Well, we always, well, we always
Had it all, had it all
Well, we always, well, we always
Had it all, had it all
Well, we always, well, we always
Had it all
