Rio chords by 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

Ab     Eb
Going to Rio
      Cm   Ab       Eb
I'm getting lost to find an alter ego
      Cm       Ab

     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

Ab         Eb

        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
