it looks whack , but it’s compact
Bsus2
and works like brand – new

warehouses above
all i’m thinking of
you gave your heart to me
and soon the world will see
our graffiti love
spray – paint on my glove
no wonder who you are
on every subway car

G#m B C#m E
i’m on my own i’m sly stallone
Bsus2
i did it for you
G#m B C#m E
but i’ve outgrown my wings and flown
Bsus2
into something brand new
G#m B C#m E
i show restraint; i’m the patron saint
Bsus2
of urban gardens in bloom
G#m B C#m E
if i don’t faint ingesting paint
Bsus2
breathing all of these fumes

warehouses above
all i’m thinking of
you gave your heart to me
and soon the world will see
our graffiti love
spray – paint on my glove
they’ll wonder who you are
on every subway car

Bsus A E Esus4 E
on every subway car you look amazing
Bsus A E Esus E
while streaming out of bars , their glasses raising
Bsus2 A
systemically refused
Bsus2 A
and chemically removed

G#m B C#m E Bsus2 x2
( solo mostly consists of the melody line in octaves with some
riffing on the end of the progression )

warehouses above
all i’m thinking of
you gave your heart to me
and soon the world will see
our graffiti love
belton on my glove
they’ll wonder who you are
on every subway car
our graffiti love
on every subway car
our graffiti love
