[Eb] Good [Gb] morning, would you like to take [Eb] a- hi, could [D] I interest you in [Eb]- excuse me, a [A] free piece of- stop! _ _
[Gb] This is for you.
_ On the road of life, let no obstacle, great or small, stand in your way. _ _ _ _
Hi, my name is [Eb] Warren.
[D] It's another [Eb] day out here [E] in the [A] metropolis.
[Gb] I'm employed [Bb] as you might see [Bm] as an [E] ambassador [A] for a very, very influential downtown artist who's been featured in the New York Times.
[D] This guy, [Eb] he [D] is a [Eb] genius.
He [Gb] paints these pithy sayings all across [E] the city,
but then he got arrested because I guess it is illegal and he hired me to watch [A] his cat while [D] he's in jail.
[Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _
I have taken [Gb] it upon [B] myself _ _ as someone [Gb] very _ [B] dedicated _ [A] to keep the artist's vision [D] with the
people on the street [A] even though the artist [Bb] is incarcerated.
[A] _
So [Eb] I [D] made these [Eb] flyers [Gb] with the
sayings he once painted [B] on the [Ab] sidewalks and the walls [A] and one [E] by one by one my [D] duty [Eb] calls.
_ [D] _ _ Good morning, [Bb] sir.
Wouldn't [Cm] you like to brighten [Bb] up your day?
[D] No.
Well these [Cm] were made especially-
but wait!
Hey mister, may I take a work of art [Ab] with you today?
[Eb] Not today, [D] ma'am.
But [Eb] it's been created [Gb] by a-
[Eb] well screw [A] you!
Kindness is a virtue that is oftentimes ignored.
_ _ [B] _ Stop [Em] breathing, breathing,
_ [A] channeling the energy [Dm] of positive [Eb]
vibrations, [A] inviting them in one by one by one by one. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Okay,
_ [Eb] [D] here's my frustration.
[Eb] _
[D] The city [Ebm] tends to make me [E] feel invisible.
[A] _
[Gb] Yes, of all the superpowers [B] it's
the one I'd [E] like to have, but it isn't very handy when you're trying to get noticed as a pioneer of
[A] visual art. _
[D] I start my every morning [Eb] _
[Gb] in the thick of all these people [B] with my hopes and [E] dreams
restored [A] then one by one by one [D] I get _ ignored.
[G] Oh it makes me [Gbm] wanna _ scream [A] or write a _ [D] _ [A] manifesto
[Bm] that declares the city [Gbm] void of [A] any _ soul.
Hello! _ _
[G] I'd nail it [E] to the _ lamppost and shout it from the rooftops
loud and _ _ _ _ _ clear.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But who [B] would [D] hear? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
Well that's suspicious _ _ [Eb] and [Bm] though [Am] surely it is not a [E]
guarantee.
_ _ _ _ _ Maybe [A] one [E] by one by one by one [A] by one by one by one by one this whole _ entire [E] city's gonna [G] look
_ [Bm] at _ [D] _ _ _ [Eb] me.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
