New York City was a stitch in time When I stood all I could of L.A. Patchin' up the pieces of my tangled mind Diggin' somethin' different every day, yeah. Soon as I was better I was movin' on Gettin' it together, gettin' good and gone And by (gettin' by), high (good and high) And strange (gonna get some strange.) New ain't nothin' but a state of mind Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind I'll take anything that I can find Anyhow, anywhere, anyway, anytime. I'll keep livin' till the day I die As long as I can get it up for one more try Gettin' by (gettin' by), high (good and high) And strange (gonna get some strange.) |------------------------------------8-6----------------4-----4/5-----5--------3-------1---------| |-------10-8-----------------------------8-4h5------3-------3------3----3--------2---1-----------| |----9-------9---------------------5----------5/0/4---4---4------4--------5--3-----------2--1-0--| |-10-----------10---7-10--10-10--0---------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-6-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |---8--------------------8------------------------------------------------| |-----8h9---------------------------------9-----------10-----10-----------| |---------9h10-10----8h9----9-9-9-8---------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------10---10---10/12----12---12--10-10--| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| New ain't nothin' but a state of mind Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind I'll take anything that I can find Anyhow, anywhere, anyway, anytime.
