Gm
My mom's a bitch
       Bb
An alcoholic
       Cm
A melancholic
               Eb F
That we keep afloat
                       Gm
It's time to flip the switch
                  Bb
When the problem's chronic
               Cm
Not being hyperbolic
                Eb F
But it's time to ghost

[Pre-Chorus]
            Eb                Bb
And when the sun shines down upon me
              Cm
I'll know I'm righteous, babe
                Eb          F
In this time of crisis, babe
             Eb                   Bb
And when the sun shines down over Cali
             Cm
The future's priceless, babe
             Eb          F
The past's a virus, babe

[Chorus]
             Eb  Bb     Cm
'Cause we're CaliforM.I.A
    F
M.I.A
             Eb  Bb Gm
'Cause we're CalifoM.I.A

[Verse 2]

[ETHAN]
               Gm
It beats bein' broke
                Bb
In this day and ages
                Cm
What the use of wages
                      Eb     F
If you can't afford a smoke?

[LEX]
           Gm
It's not a trope
           Bb
I'll be an actress
                Cm
'Cause I've had practice
        Eb    F
Selling hope

[Pre-Chorus]

[LEX & ETHAN]
             Eb                 Bb
And when the sun shines down upon us
                 Cm
We'll know we're righteous, babe
                Eb          F
We survived the crisis, babe
             Eb                   Bb
And when the sun shines down over Cali
                Cm
We won't need a license
                 Eb       F
'Cause love will drive us

[Chorus]

[LEX, ETHAN, & HANNAH]
          Eb   Bb
Oh, we're CaliforM.I.A

[LEX & ETHAN]
Cm
We're missing in action
F
Addition by subtraction
      Eb   Bb Cm
We're CaliforM.I.A

[LEX (spoken)]
Gm
Dear Mom
Bb
It's been real - real bad
Cm
I'd say you did your best
Eb
But I'm not a liar

[ETHAN (spoken)]
F
Oh, L-I-E-R, babe

[LEX (spoken)]
Gm                Bb
We get it, Ethan, you're a good speller.
                      Cm
I'm taking Hannah, as far away as we can get
    Eb                        F
I'd give you an address but I don't want to
Gm                        Bb
Don't write, don't call, don't ask
         Cm
Sincerely, Lex
