I have realized that there aren't really ANY The Motorcycle Industry song tabs out there on the interenet,
so much so that UG's database doesn't even have them listed. So
I feel it necessary to do my part and try and catalogue as many of their songs as I can.
Here's the first of many.

AGmanda, how many songs do I have to write before you call me up and say,
C"Hey, was that one about me?
Maybe Gyou'd like to talk,
Or Gmaybe you'd like to watch me paint my fingernails on the goodwill couch,
Ctiny turquoise elephants,
Put that Gcigarette out"
[Chorus 1]
CBut EmI haven't Gseen the CHudson in a while
CAnd Emyour apartment Galways had the Cbest viewCadd9  C  Cmaj7  
  GAnd how'd you get your guitar to sound like that?
GLike the fake metal Cfrets are cuttin'
CThrough the crap that Geveryone's singing about these days?
GIf you need me, I'll be on the fire escape...
GBut you Cwon't, and I do
Do Gyou remember Halloween?
GEating candy on your stoop?
GKevin's friend said he thought I was cute
GAnd you did, too
[Chorus 2]
GBut EmI haven't Gseen the CHudson in awhile
CAnd Emyour apartment Galways had the Cbest view
CAnd I Gwoke up wetEm,

[Verse 1]

Amanda, how many songs do I have to write before you call me up and say,

"Hey, was that one about me?

Maybe you'd like to talk,

Or maybe you'd like to watch me paint my fingernails on the goodwill couch,

tiny turquoise elephants,

Put that cigarette out"

[Chorus 1]

C Em G C

But I haven't seen the Hudson in a while

C Em G C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

And your apartment always had the best view

And how'd you get your guitar to sound like that?

G C

Like the fake metal frets are cuttin'

C G

Through the crap that everyone's singing about these days?

If you need me, I'll be on the fire escape...

G C

But you won't, and I do

Do you remember Halloween?

Eating candy on your stoop?

Kevin's friend said he thought I was cute

And you did, too

[Chorus 2]

G Em G C

But I haven't seen the Hudson in awhile

C Em G C

And your apartment always had the best view

C G Em

And I woke up wet,

C Em G C

My salt water breath would taste good on your legs

C G Em C

And the Amtrack lines split and divide

C Em G C

They are taking me away

C G Em C

And the Amtrack lines split and divide

C Em G C

They are taking me away

C G Em C

And the Amtrack lines split and divide

C Em G C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

They are taking me away
