Intro: Dbm E A

Verse 1:
       E
On the sun bleached streets of the living city
A           B
 My nerves awake
    Dbm
I'm swimming in a t-shirt
A             B
Dragging my belongings up the
E
Narrow stairs of my dormitory
A            B
 Each step I take
   Dbm
Is springing with a promise
Gbm             B
Singing with an angel Chorus

Chorus:
A                 B
I don't care what happens to me
  E
I just want art and music and you
A          B                E
 Ice water spilling into my shoes

I'm skipping home from Union Square
A                B
 Don't care what happens to me
E                              A
I just want art and beauty and truth
            B                    E
The dawn is breaking and I don't care
                             Gbm B
It turns the silver buildings  blue
Gbm B    E
Ooh, ooh

Verse 2:
       E
Up the felty steps of the central theater
A          B
 I fall in place
Dbm
Scribbling in the margins
A               B                E
Laughing at the most pretentious part

I know what I've always wanted
A                  B
 You're like that, too
    Dbm
And nobody can stop us
Gbm              B
Not what we have already started

Chorus:
A                 B
I don't care what happens to me
  E
I just want art and music and you
A          B                E
 Ice water spilling into my shoes

I'm skipping home from Union Square
A                B
 Don't care what happens to me
E                              A
I just want art and beauty and truth
            B                    E
The dawn is breaking and I don't care
                             Gbm B
It turns the silver buildings  blue
Gbm B    E
Ooh, ooh

Verse 3:
       E
On the crowded street by our small apartment
A             B
 I say goodbye
    Dbm
I'm off to California
    A                B                E
I'm worried I'll get lost in all that sky

I hope that before I know it
A             B
 You're by my side
Dbm
Brimming with a promise
Gbm              B
Singing with the angel Chorus

Chorus:
A                 B
I don't care what happens to me
  E
I just want art and music and you
A          B                E
 Ice water spilling into my shoes

I'm skipping home from Union Square
A                 B
I don't care what happens to me
  E
I just want art and music and you
A          B                E
 Ice water spilling into my shoes

I'm skipping home from Union Square
A             B
 I don't care what happens to me
E                              A
I just want art and beauty and truth
            B                    E
The dawn is breaking and I don't care
                             Gbm B
It turns the silver buildings  blue
