Verse:
First four lines are spoken, next two sung:
SOL DO SOL
LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time
RE
And the feeling is laid back
RE7 RE7 RE7 RE7
Palm trees grow and rents are low but-I-gotta-feeling-like-I-gotta-start
SOL
Making my way back
SOL SOL7 DO
I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays I'm lost between two shores.
RE7 RE7 SOL
LA's fine but it ain't home and New York's home but it ain't mine no more.
Chorus
SOL
I am I said
DO
To noone there
RE RE7 RE-C-G RE
And noone heard at all, not even the chair
SOL
I am I cried
DO
I am said I
RE RE7 RE-C-G RE
And I am lost and I don't even know why
(tacit) Leaving me lonely still
Verse 2:
Did-you-ever-hear-about-the-frog-who-dreamed-about-being-a-king
And suddenly became one?
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
My story's the same one
But I have an emptiness deep inside so strong 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 being alone.
Chorus
