Rio Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Oh, here I go [D]again
I wake up every morning to
this Groundhog Day
Thinking about the list of things
that I've [G]done wrong
Can't even count, it [D]goes on too long

[Verse 2]
I try to change my [D]ways
I feel like I'm the villain
in some crappy play
The book has long been written,
but I'd [G]rather be
Just about any[Bm]one else but me,
[A]I hope you see

[Verse 3]
It [G]doesn't mean I'm [D]not a fighter
It's [Bm]just that I wanna be a [A]little lighter
[G]Spent so long [D]fixing things [A]I've done
[G]I've got holes in [D]all my pockets
[Bm]Even those holes, [A]they've got pockets
[G]Hiding things [D]that'll never see the [A]sun

[Verse 4]
[A]
I'm taking [Bm]off, [G]going to [D]Rio
I'm getting [Bm]lost to [G]find an al[A]ter [D]ego
It could [Bm]be Paris or Berli[G]n
I don't [A]care [D]what state I'm in
Gonna [Bm]leave it [G]all be[A]hind
Maybe [Bm]I'll be [G]myself when
I'm [Em]somebody else

[Verse 5]
[A]This is not an invit[D]ation[G]
I'm going to Ri[D]o
[A]Thi[D]s is not a conv[G]ersation
Say goodbye to me, [A]oh[D]

[Verse 6]
Maybe in [D]ten years time
You'll receive a letter from
some random guy
You'll like him so much better,
but then you [G]will see
He's not a stranger, it's [D]only me

[Verse 7]
[D]
I can only [A]be myself as
[G]somebody else
'Cause you got sun,
I [D]got bad [Bm]weather
Anything you can lose,
[A]I can lose better
[G]Did my best with [D]what life gave to [A]me
[G]I've got holes in [D]all my pockets
[Bm]Even those holes, [A]they've got pockets
[G]Hiding things that I [D]sure want to leave
[A]

[Verse 8]
[D]I'm [A]taking [Bm]off, [G]going to Ri [D]o
I'm getting [Bm]lost to [G]find an [A]alter [D]ego
It could be [Bm]Paris or Berlin
[G]I don't car[D]e what state I'm in
Gonna [Bm]leave it [G]all [A]behind
Maybe [Bm]I'll be [G]myself when
I'm [Em]somebody e[A]lse

[Verse 9]
This is not an [D]invit[G]ation
I'm going to Ri[A]o[D]
This is not [G]a conversation
Say goodbye to me, [A]oh[D]

[Verse 10]
[D]Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue
I can't even eat the things you do
Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice
I [A]roll 13 on a pair of [D]dice

[Verse 11]
[D]Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue
I can't even eat the things you do
Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice
I roll 13 on a pair of dice
I'm tak[A]ing

[Verse 12]
[Bm]off, [G]going to Ri [D]o
I'm getting [Bm]lost to [G]find an alter [D]ego
It could be [Bm]Paris or Berlin
[G]I don't car[A]e wha[D]t state I'm in
Gonna [Bm]leave it [G]all be[A]hind
Maybe [Bm]I'll be [G]myself when
I'm [Em]somebody else

[Verse 13]
[A]This is not an in[D]vitation[G]
I'm going to Ri[A]o[D]
This is not [G]a conversation
Say goodbye to me, [A]oh[D]

[Verse 14]
This is not an [D]invitation[G]
I'm going to Ri[A]o[D]
This is not a [G]conversation
Say goodbye to me, [D]oh
