A great song by Modest Mouse with a great message. There were a few tabs but none 
in full so I figured I would post one.
[Chorus]
GmDa da da da da da da da 
FDa da da da da da da da
EbWe're all going
CmWe're all going
[Verse 1]
GmWell the lampshades on fire when the lights go out
FThe room lit up when we ran about
EbThis is what I really call a party now
CmPack up our bags, move on to the next town
GmWell the lampshades on fire when the lights go out
FThis is what I really call a party now
EbWell fear makes us really, really run around
CmThis one's done so where to now
GmOur eyes light up, we have no shame at all
FWell you all know what I'm talkin' about
EbShaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground
CmSo I can't look surprised right now
GmPack up again, head to the next place
FWhere we'll make the same mistakes
EbBurn it up or just chop it down
CmThis one's done so where to now
[Chorus]
GmDa da da da da da da da da 
FDa da da da da da da da da
EbWe're all going
CmWe're all going
[Verse 2]
GmWell the lampshades on fire when the lights go out
FThis is what I really call a party now
EbWell fear makes us really, really run around
CmThis one's done so where to now
GmOur eyes light up we have no shame at all
FWell you all know what I'm talking about
EbThe room lights up, well, we're still dancing around
CmWe're having fun, havin some for now
GmPack up again, head to the next place
FWhere we'll make the same mistakes
EbOpen one up and let it fall to the ground
CmPile up the door when it all runs out
[Chorus]
BbDa da da da da da da da da

EbWe're all going
We're all going
[Bridge]
BbWe have scars in our bones
We'll eat your foAbod, we'll throw the stone 
This is how it's always goEbne
And this is how it's going to go
BbWell, we're the human race
We're going to Abparty out of this place
And move Ebon
Tough love
BbWe'll kill you off and then make a clone
Yeah we've got spiAbnes, yeah we have bones
This is how it's Ebalways gone
And this is how it's going to go
BbAs our feelings are getting hurt
We want you Abto do the work
Our ass looks greEbat inside these jeans
Well, we all just don't wanna clean
BbOh this is how it's always been
And this is hAbow it's going to be
So you just move Ebon
[Verse 3]
GmThe air's on fire so we're movin on
FBetter find another cause this one's done
EbWaiting for the magic when the scientists glow
CmTo push push push push pull us up
GmSpend some time to float in outer space
FFind another planet make the same mistakes
EbOur mind's all shattered when we climb aboard
CmHopin for the scientists to find another door

A great song by Modest Mouse with a great message. There were a few tabs but none

in full so I figured I would post one.

[Chorus]

Da da da da da da da da

We're all going

[Verse 1]

Well the lampshades on fire when the lights go out

The room lit up when we ran about

This is what I really call a party now

Pack up our bags, move on to the next town

Well the lampshades on fire when the lights go out

This is what I really call a party now

Well fear makes us really, really run around

This one's done so where to now

Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all

Well you all know what I'm talkin' about

Shaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground

So I can't look surprised right now

Pack up again, head to the next place

Where we'll make the same mistakes

Burn it up or just chop it down

This one's done so where to now

[Chorus]

Da da da da da da da da da

We're all going

[Verse 2]

Well the lampshades on fire when the lights go out

This is what I really call a party now

Well fear makes us really, really run around

This one's done so where to now

Our eyes light up we have no shame at all

Well you all know what I'm talking about

The room lights up, well, we're still dancing around

We're having fun, havin some for now

Pack up again, head to the next place

Where we'll make the same mistakes

Open one up and let it fall to the ground

Pile up the door when it all runs out

[Chorus]

Da da da da da da da da da

We're all going

[Bridge]

We have scars in our bones

We'll eat your food, we'll throw the stone

This is how it's always gone

And this is how it's going to go

Well, we're the human race

We're going to party out of this place

And move on

Tough love

We'll kill you off and then make a clone

Yeah we've got spines, yeah we have bones

This is how it's always gone

And this is how it's going to go

As our feelings are getting hurt

We want you to do the work

Our ass looks great inside these jeans

Well, we all just don't wanna clean

Oh this is how it's always been

And this is how it's going to be

So you just move on

[Verse 3]

The air's on fire so we're movin on

Better find another cause this one's done

Waiting for the magic when the scientists glow

To push push push push pull us up

Spend some time to float in outer space

Find another planet make the same mistakes

Our mind's all shattered when we climb aboard

Hopin for the scientists to find another door
