[Verse 1]
D             D/F#                         G
  Stood up by Nicole, a third night in a row
                 A                         Bm
I guess she's on the road 'cause she never made it
      F#m         G
But I'm always on time


[Verse 2]
D              D/F#                       G
  But I'm out anyway, by myself for the day
                   A                             Bm
I don't care, it's a shame, it's her bed and she made it
         F#m         G
'Cause I'm always on time


[Pre-Chorus]
        Em
But get back to me, don't tell me when
   G
If I'll ever see you again
    Bm                     G
Why deal me in to clean me out?


[Chorus]
D   F#m      G     A       Bm
Why build me up to drag me down?
            F#m  G
When you're not around (It's such a bitter taste 'cause)
D   F#m    G       A    Bm
Waiting in line at In-N-Out
         F#m     G
So where are you now?
                   D    D/F#    G   A
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A
                  Bm   F#m     G
You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A


[Verse 3]
D                  D/F#                         G
  So I called just to say "What happened yesterday?
              A                             Bm
Or were you running late? Or was I just mistaken
    F#m         G
For a different night?"


[Pre-Chorus]
        Em
But get back to me, don't tell me when
   G
If I'll ever see you again
    Bm                     G
Why deal me in to clean me out?


[Chorus]
D   F#m      G     A       Bm
Why build me up to drag me down?
            F#m  G
When you're not around (It's such a bitter taste 'cause)
D   F#m    G       A    Bm
Waiting in line at In-N-Out
         F#m     G
So where are you now?
                   D    D/F#    G   A
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A
                  Bm   F#m     G
You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A

                 A                         Bm

      F#m         G
But I'm always on time


[Bridge]
       D
And it all goes around in the back of my head
          G
Why can't you follow through with the things that you said?
      Bm
I was there dressed to kill in the back of the cab
        G
But you don't even show and you can't call me back


[Chorus]
D   F#m      G     A       Bm
Why build me up to drag me down?

I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A

You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A
                   D    D/F#    G   A
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A

You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A
                  D
You're always M.I.A
