Great Scraps

A E Bm Oh, great scraps of New York, call me up A E Bm Ribbons, letters, tie your knots around my legs A E D Pistachio shells and shells of eggs A E D Single rides, coffee lids, signs of life Dm Bm G E Lost shoes, mittens, waving in the wind A C#m All the love in the world F#m Is getting in touch with me Bm E Reaching across unrelenting car horns A C#m I kiss the feet of traffic lights F#m The yellow is my sun D Dm E It tells us to speed up and slow down A C#m F#m D We sail a sea of scratch-offs drained of hope A C#m We spread salt on the snow F#m D Make it like a soft pretzel A C#m F#m D I’m New York, my dog wears shoes A C#m F#m D What are you? What are you?
