You've got the Perfect disguise and you're lookin’ o.k.
From the bottom of the best of the worst, well what can I say
Cuz you cocked your head to shoot me down, down
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No cuz I know the score
Need me to fall down, so you can climb up
Some fool ass ladder, well good luck
I hope, I hope there's something better up there
Cuz you cocked your head to shoot me down, down
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No cuz I know the score
Well good luck believing every word that’s said
I hope you have enough space in your head
I don’t know, broke my back

Well you've got the perfect disguise and you're looking okay
From the bottom of the best to the worst well what can I say
'Cause you cocked your head to shoot me down
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No, but I know the score
Need me to fall down so you can climb up
Some fool-ass ladder. Well, good luck.
I hope, hope there's something better up there
'Cause you cocked your head to shoot me down
And I don't give a damn about you or this town no more
No, 'cause I know the score

version 3
Tuning: Normal.
I added part of the bass part in brackets, although I'm not sure if it's transcribed
Some of the harmonies are off... but then again, it's Modest Mouse. You can move the bass
up a tone (ie 2 frets) and try it that way, too.

version 4
Tuning: Standard
NOTE* Some of the other tabs are missing some notes and they are played in
first position which makes them sound slightly off. I tabbed this in a
different position with some more notes that were missing. First tab, but
almost pefect.
TIPS*
Intro:Bar 5th frets with pointer finger, then use pointer finger on fret 4
and hold before sliding down to 2.
Part One: Pinky on 4th fret G string, ring finger on 4th fret D string,
Pointer finger barring 2nd frets on B and G strings. All notes are 8th
notes. The slide down to 2 at the end is the transition to Part 2. (Note
this is not the exact timing that modest mouse uses but it sounds better
when played like this)
Part Two: Sorry if this looks confusing, the () is played the second time
and the [] is played the third time. Bar 2nd frets on D and G string with
pointer finger to make it easier to maintain the ring. The last two notes
of the second variation are played quickly. the last 2/4 is played for the
first two variations and is the transition back to Part One.
Part Three: I gave two options of how to play this, both work really well.
The first is chords (Pick your own strum pattern), the second is an improv
line that I made up, and that line can be molded to your personal style if
you wish to mix it up.
