C E F
The day that we, took out a car in the rain
G C
Is the day you forgot how to brake
E F
And see, how quickly the picture will change
G F
Filled with fingers and voices and teeth
G Am
I still remember holding my hand
C F
Against your face just before it was splayed
G C
Across the radio, as it played
C
---Verse Two---
C E F
And you and me are still as the scenery moves
G
Oh, why should it stop, just ‘cause
C E F
Suddenly, there’s one where there used to be two,
G F
And everything’s quiet but yo
G Am
Looks like the speaker lived through the blow
C F
Still playing some compilation you made
G Am
Feels like a lifetime sitting alone
C F
So I start humming along to the tape
---Chorus---
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/emmy_the_great/mia_crd.html ]
G C
I always liked this singer, I remember
E F
How you were the one who told me that her name
G C
Was either Mia or M.I.A.
C
---Bridge---
F F
And I am thinking,
Am
How many hours ‘til I’m home?
C F
How long do I stay in this place?
F Am
Who’s going to wash all the blood from my clothes?
C F
Who’s gonna cancel my date?
F G G
Who’s gonna cancel my date?
F
And I think....
---Chorus---
G C
I always liked this singer, I remember
E F
How you were the one who told me that her name
G G
Was either Mia...
F
Oh I think...
---Chorus---
G C
I always liked this singer, I remember
E F
How you were the one who told me that her name
G C
Was either Mia, or M.I.A.
C
---Verse Three---
C E F
The day that we took out a car in the rain
G C
I thought to myself that the sky was blue
E F
As I’d ever seen it but yet
G
Still tainted with red.....
