F# minorF#m        C# minorC#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Brooklyn, New York overnight
   F# minorF#m    A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
Drove down the interstate, interstate
     C# minorC#m G# minorG#m  A augmentedA
There were no cheap flights
   C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m  A augmentedA
And I don’t like heights

You know that or you might not
A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
I like things that take their time
A augmentedA
Take your time
   C# minorC#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
On the J - Z lines
A augmentedA    F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
People are rushing and honking
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Some people are watching
A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Some people are talking
A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
I was at the moment
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Just having a moment
A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
Alone with Van Gogh
A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
No tourists, no photos
G# minorG#m          F#F#
it was just me and the strokes


E MajorE          F#F#        BB
If I had a sharpie, just something to mark it
       D#D#
I could be a terrorist, a vandal, an artist

It's all so fragile

A minorAm    A augmentedA     A minorAm
New York, I love you but

I was in Toronto

Early in the morning

Sun in eyes
A augmentedA
Ain’t no songs about its streets
F# minorF#m
No CBGB’s or deli meats
  C# minorC#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
No famous sights
      C# minorC#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
But that’s kind of nice
       A minorAm E MajorE   A augmentedA
You know that or you might not
