Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) We do behave strangely as tourists
like when I was with my family
we visited a bunch of churches
You never do that when
you're at home
Never wake up on a Saturday.
Hey, you want to go
check out some churches? (F sharp major)
(D major) Never no
What if I told you those churches
were super old and (D major) empty I
Still wouldn't want to go
Most of the churches we
went in were empty
and you know we went
in one church
and there was a mass (C sharp minor) go
ing on
that was kind of strange
it was (G major) like hey
I know you're in contem
(F sharp major) plative prayer
(D major) but I'm (A major) gonna do an Instagram (E minor) live
so (D major) I'll tag you if (D major) you want.
In New York City
there's a church that went out of business
and they turned it into a nightclub the limelight
and so that means
I'm sure there are people that walk by
and they're like oh my gosh
that's where my parents got married
(E minor) an d where I first (D major) tried cocaine.
A lot of memories there.
Of here in Barcelona,
(D major) the most famous Spanish church,
Sagrada (D major) Fa milia,
or as I call it, Sangria Familia.
Beautiful church, right?
Started in the 1800s, still not done.
I'm thinking, never gonna be done.
After 100 years,
I lower (D major) my expectations.
You guys gonna finish it?
Manana, manana.
I'm pressure -ous.
And that's one of Gaudi's
masterpieces,
right? Gaudi, such a brilliant mind,
whose approach to architecture was like,
make it beautiful, but make it melting.
We want (C major) the build (G major) ings to
(D major) feel like Spain in August.
