Mahal Kita Tabulatur von Emmy the Great

[Verse 1]
[F]
I am walking through the city
[F]
With my ear down to the ground
[Dm]
Trying to find something I lost
[Dm]
I'll know it by the sound
[Am]
You are underneath the bridge
[Am]                                 
And all the cars are driving by
[F]
And I say, "stranger, won't you let me come
[F]                       [C]
And sit with you a while?"
[F]
'Cause my tiredness is luminous
[F]
It trails me like smoke
[Dm]
But here beneath this road
[Dm]
I think I've found the antidote
[Am]
In those dances in formation
[Am]
In those people singing songs
[F]
In the woman slicing papaya outside Louis Vuitton

[Chorus]
[Dm]
You say
[Dm]
"I know that we are stars
[Bm]                    [F]
'Cause the moon follows me home
[Dm]
I know that we are stars 
[Bm]               [F]
'cause the sun is yellow"
[C]
Breathing in the noise from all the people in their cars
[Bm]
[F]                      [Bm] [F]
You teach me how to say, Mahal Kita

[Verse 2]
[F]
The world has turned to Blade Runner
[F]
These buildings, they have eyes
[Dm]
Men, they stare down at us
[Dm]
 from glass towers in the skies
[Am]
You tell me that your bedroom 
[Am]                                
is seven foot by five
[F]
And I don't know who made the gap
[F]                          [C]
But it just keeps on getting wide
[F]
And I won't be the one to say 
[F]
that this world isn't fair
[Dm]
Let the Catholics and St. Joseph 
[Dm]
tell the story in their prayers
[Am]
Of how we came to fill the space
[Am]
Between heaven and hell
[F]
While the hawkers sell their handbags on the street outside Chanel

[Chorus]
[Dm]
"I know that we are stars
[Bm]                           [F]
'Cause the moon follows me home
[Dm]
I know that we are stars 
[Bm]                [F]
'cause the sun is yellow"
[C]
Breathing in the noise from all the people in their cars
[Bm]
[F]                       [Bm] [F]
You teach me how to say, Mahal Kita
[F]                           [Bm] [F]
It's spilling from our lips, Mahal Kita


[Bridge]
[Gm]    [Dm]  [F]
And you are free
[C]
And nobody 
[Bm]
can tell you that you're not
[A] [F]
Free
[Dm] [F]
Mahal Kita
Mahal Kita
Mahal Kita
Mahal Kita

[Verse 3]
[F]
An old Chinese woman
[F]
sells the card we're sitting on
[Dm]
Tonight she'll come and tidy it 
[Dm]
away when we are gone
[Am]
And the streets will be quiet 
[Am]                                  
and the banks will be closed
[F]
And the taxis will be lining up 
[F]                         
to take the tourists home
[F]
Tomorrow I'll keep searching for 
[F]
the rhythm of a song
[Dm]
That I once heard once as a child 
[Dm]
though the melody has long long gone
[Am]
And I will think of you 
[Am]
every time I'm here
[F]
Lit up by a Tiffany's that used to be DeBear's

[Outro]
[Am]
While the people turns to crowds
[Am]
And the crowd turns to a throng
[F]
And a woman slices papaya outside Louis Vuitton
