MIXTAPE (Tift Merritt)
----------------------
* Actually in F#m; capo 2.
* Each chord is one measure.

Em   C   Am   C
[intro]

Em                     C                    Am        C
You, how did you get so wise, I take the advice I find in your eyes
Em                        C                Am             C
Me, I've been waiting outside, most of my life, oh like a rare B-side

Em                           Bm                   Am        Bm
I'm just making you mixtapes with homemade covers, analog to show we're lovers
Em                        Bm                 Am                 Bm
And here under the jacket folds inside, I've taped my heart for you to find...

   Em           C                    Am            C
To find the perfect way, which album to say, I la la la love you
Em                C                           Am                  C
With this plastic cassette, it's not finished yet, but it's gonna tell you slowly

Em                           Bm                   Am                   Bm
I'm just making you mixtapes with homemade covers, strings and drawings show we're lovers
Em                               Bm              Am               Bm
When you're driving around in the summertime, to hear again, just press rewind, rewind...

Em  C  Am  C     Em  C  Am  Cmaj7
[instrumental]

  Em                    C                 Am              C
Rewind, it comes to an end, turns over again, another a thousand times
Em               C               Am                 C
Me, I'll be the same, no I never change, I'm like a rare B-side

Em                          Bm                   Am         Bm
I'll be making you mixtapes with homemade covers, analog to show we're lovers
Em                             Bm             Am               Bm
So much rock 'n' roll love in a plastic case, play it loud then see my face

Em                          Bm                    Am              Bm
I'm just making you mixtapes with homemade covers; Mazzy Star, Donovan's "Colours"
Em                         Bm              Am              Bm
Just an audio love letter, painted blue, I spent all day making for you, for you...

Em   C     Am    C      Em   C   Am   Cmaj7    Em.
       For you        Mmmmmm
