Barenaked Ladies (often abbreviated BNL) is a Canadian alternative rock band currently composed of Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart, formerly featuring Andy Creeggan and Steven Page. Page left the band amicably in February 2009 to pursue solo projects, and March 7th, 2009 saw the band's first show on stage as a foursome in Orlando, Florida. Tyler Stewart proudly emblazoned his drum-set with a "Fantastic 4" logo. In March 2010, they released 'All In Good Time', their first post-Page studio album.

I´m not entirely sure, but I believe Kevin uses a capo on the 2nd fret, and even if he doesn´t, I find this song very easy to play as such, so that´s how I´m going to write this.
Whenever you see (D A G) written, it´s to be played like this:
Capo 2nd fret Asus2 - X02200 G - 320033 D - XX0232 Bm - X24432 A - X02220 F#m - 244222

BmD My backpack was faded black A But now it's all blue F#mBmD It looks whack, but it's compact AF#m And works like brand-new
BmD (DAG)
F#mBmD I had found an old Greyhound A But it wasn't my scene F#mBmD I'm underground at the turnaround AF#m This one is pristine
BmD Warehouses above (DAG) All I'm thinking of BmD You gave your heart to me (DAG) And soon the world will see BmD Our graffiti love (DAG) Spray paint on my glove BmD They'll wonder who you are (DAG) On every subway car
BmD I'm on my own – I'm Sly Stallone A I did it for you F#mBmD But I've outgrown my wings and flown A Into something brand new F#mBmD I show restraint; I'm the patron saint A Of urban gardens in bloom F#mBmD If I don't faint ingesting paint AF#m Breathing all of these fumes
BmD Warehouses above (DAG) All I'm thinking of BmD You gave your heart to me (DAG) And soon the world will see BmD Our graffiti love (DAG) Spray paint on my glove BmD They'll wonder who you are (DAG) On every subway car
AGD On every subway car you look amazing AGD While streaming out of bars, their glasses raising AG Systemically refused DG Then chemically removed

BmD Warehouses above (DAG) All I'm thinking of BmD You gave your heart to me (DAG) And soon the world will see BmD Our graffiti love (DAG) Belted on my glove BmD They'll wonder who you are (DAG) On every subway car BmD Our graffiti love (DAG) On every subway car BmD Our graffiti love (DAG) On every subway car
