Rio Tabulatur von Mika

[Verse 1]
          Eb
Oh, here I go again

I wake up every morning to this Groundhog Day
                                       Ab
Thinking about the list of things that I've done wrong
                            Eb
Can't even count, it goes on too long

         Eb
I try to change my ways

I feel like I'm the villain in some crappy play

The book has long been written
        Ab                          Cm
But I'd rather be just about anyone else but me
    Bb
I hope you see

 Ab                    Eb
It doesn't mean I'm not a fighter
  Cm                    Bb
It's just that I wanna be a little lighter
Ab             Eb               Bb
Spent so long fixing things I've done
Ab               Eb
I've got holes in all my pockets
Cm                 Bb
Even those holes, they've got pockets
Ab                    Eb              Bb
Hiding things that'll never see the sun




[Chorus]
              Cm
I'm taking off
Ab          Eb
Going to Rio
            Cm      Ab              Eb
I'm getting lost to find an alter ego
            Cm             Ab
It could be Paris or Berlin
         Eb
I don't care what state I'm in
      Cm       Ab        Bb
Gonna leave it all behind 
      Cm            Ab            Fm        Bb
Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else

                Eb
This is not an invitation
Ab                 Eb
I'm going to Rio
               Eb 
This is not a conversation
Ab                       Eb
Say good-bye to me, oh


[Verse 2]
          Eb
Maybe in ten years time,

You'll receive a letter from some random guy
                                         Ab
You'll like him so much better, but then you will see
                        Eb
He's not a stranger it's only me
              Bb
I could only be myself
          Ab
As somebody else

Ab                    Eb
'Cause you got sun, I got bad weather
  Cm                    Bb
Anything you can lose, I can lose better
Ab             Eb               Bb
Did my best with what life gave to me
Ab               Eb
I've got holes in all my pockets
Cm                 Bb
Even those holes, they've got pockets
Ab                    Eb              Bb
Hiding things that I sure want to leave


[Chorus]
              Cm
I'm taking off
Ab          Eb
Going to Rio
            Cm      Ab              Eb

         Eb
I don't care what state I'm in
      Cm       Ab        Bb
Gonna leave it all behind 
      Cm            Ab            Fm        Bb
Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else

I'm going to Rio
               Eb 
This is not a conversation
Ab                       Eb
Say good-bye to me, oh


[Bridge]
Eb 
Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue

I can't even eat the things you do

Bake you a cake, and I'll burn it up twice

I roll thirteen on a pair of dice

Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue

I can't even eat the things you do

Bake you a cake, and I'll burn it up twice

I roll thirteen on a pair of dice


[Chorus]
