Verse 1:
  Bm                   A
A kid lifts up a spray can
          Bm                         A
And never thought it would be famous What he did
           Bm               A
turned the mess into a dreamland
       Bm            A
With a quirky act of romance
  Bm                   A
A version of Romeo and Juliet
               Bm                  A
This time with Adidas sneakers and cigarettes
            Bm                          A
A couple of kids trying to cut down the safety net
     Bm                    A
They twisted the story, so they could bring glory to it

Verse 2:
Bm
They didn't write her name on the article
A
That to me just seems pretty farcical
Bm                       A
Now coppers take coppers out of his hands from a ban from alcohol
Bm
Fundamental narcissistic
A
Tried to make out he didn't exist
Bm
When they wrote on the what
A                      Bm                       A
When they wrote on the t-shirts, cool merch and postcards
    Bm                    A
And lighting it up like a piece of art
     Bm                              A
They kicked him to the side and left him to starve
    Bm                             A
The memory that's rebreaking his broken heart

I love ya, will you marry me?
                                  G
Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality
      D            A    Gbm
Ain't it sad, sad, sad
