[INTRO]

C

[VERSE 1]

C                     C7
New York City was a stitch in time
           F                   C
When I'd stood all I could of L.A.
C                            C7
Patchin' up the pieces of my tangled mind
D7                                 G    G7
Diggin' somethin' different every day, yeah.

[VERSE 2]

C                           C7
Soon as I was better I was movin' on
E7                            F
Gettin' it together, gettin' good and gone
    C                 G
And by (gettin' by), high (good and high)
       C            F          C
And strange (gonna get some strange)

[CHORUS]

F
New ain't nothin' but a state of mind
C
Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind
D7
I'll take anything that I can find
    G        F       Em       Dm
Anyhow, anywhere, anyway, anytime

[VERSE 3]

C                         C7
I'll keep livin' till the day I die
E7                              F
As long as I can get it up for one more try
        C                 G
Gettin' by (gettin' by), high (good and high)
       C            F          C
And strange (gonna get some strange)
