Verse:
G C G
LA’s fine, the sun shines, most ‘the time
D
And the feeling is lay-back
D7 D7 D7
Palm trees grow and rents are low but you know,
D7
I keep thinkin’ ’bout
G
Makin’ my way back
G
Well, I’m New York City born and raised
G7 C
but nowadays I’m lost between two shores.
D7
LA’s fine but it ain’t home.
D7 G
New York’s home but it ain’t mine no more.
Chorus:
G
I am I said
C
To no one there
D D7 D – C – G D
And no one heard at all, not even the chair
G
I am I cried
C
I am said I
D D7 D – C – G D
And I am lost and I can’t even say why
(tacit) Leavin’ me lonely still
Verse 2:
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king,
And then became one?
Well, except for the names and a few other changes,
if you talk about me
The story’s the same one
But I got an emptiness deep inside
and I tried but it won’t let me go
And I’m not a man who likes to swear,
but I’ve never cared for the sound
of bein’ alone.
