The version on this site with the capo on the 2nd fret sounds good, but it isn't 
fully accurate. Ed actually plays the guitar without a capo. So, although this 
version may be harder, it is far more accurate.

-Standard Tuning-

-No Capo-

-The chords are played as follows:-
Bsus4:  x24400
Asus2: x02200
Esus4:  022200
E:     022100
C#m:   x46654
B:     x24440
Abm:   466444
A5:    x022xx


[Intro]
Bsus4, Asus2, Esus4, E (x2)

[Verse 1]
       C#m            E
My backpack was faded black
              B
But now it's all blue
Abm      C#m                E
It looks whack, but it's compact
                B        Abm
And works like brand new

[Interlude]
C#m, E, Bsus4, B, A5 (x1)

[Verse 2]
I had found an old Greyhound
But it wasn't my scene
I'm underground at the turnaround
And this one is pristine

[Chorus]
C#m         E
Warehouses above
Bsus4  B        A5
All   I'm thinking of
    C#m                E
You gave your heart to me
    Bsus4  B         A5
And soon  the world will see
C#m          E
Our graffiti love
Bsus4   B       A5
Spray paint on my glove
        C#m             E
They'll wonder who you are
   Bsus4 B      A5
On ev---ery subway car

[Verse 3]
I'm on my own, I'm Sly Stallone
I did it for you
I've outgrown my wings, and flown
Into something brand new

[Verse 4]
I show restraint, I'm the Patron Saint
Of urban gardens in bloom
If I don't faint ingesting paint
Breathing all of these fumes

[Chorus]
Warehouses above
All I'm thinking of
You gave your heart to me
Soon the world will see
Our graffiti love
Spray paint on my glove
They'll wonder who you are
On every subway car

[Bridge]
    B            A             Esus4   E 
On every subway car you look amazing
         B             A                   Esus4   E
While streaming out of bars their glasses raising
    B             A
Systematically refused
       B           A5
Then chemically removed

[Instrumental/Solo]
C#m, E, Bsus4, Abm (x2)

[Chorus]
Warehouses above
All I'm thinking of
You gave your heart to me
Soon the world will see
Our graffiti love
Spray paint on my glove
They'll wonder who you are
On every subway car
Our graffiti love
On every subway car
Our graffiti love
On every subway car

[End on A5]
