“Comic Strips & Guitar Picks”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse]
G#m – E – B – F#
In a world full of color, we paint in black and white,
(G#m– E – B – F#)
Snoopy on the rooftop, under the starlight.
(G#m – E – B – F#)
Comic strips and guitar picks, our dreams taking flight,
(G#m – E – B – F#)
In the heart of the city, we play into the night.
[Chorus]
C#m – E – B – F#
Comic strips & guitar picks, it’s our battle cry,
(C#m – E – B – F#)
In the spotlight’s glare and the crowd’s high.
(C#m – E – B – F#)
With every strum, in every line,
(C#m – E – B – F#)
We’re just trying to make our stars align.
