capo i

A D A D E 2

xa D E E7

A
l . A . is fine , sunshine most of the time
D
and the feeling is laid back
E
palm trees grow and the rents are low
E7
but you know i keep thinking about
A
making my way back

A
well , i’m new york city born and raised
D
but nowadays , i’m lost between two shores
E
l . A . is fine , but it ain’t home
E7 A Asus4 A
new york’s home but it ain’t mine no more

A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
i Am , i said , to no one there
D Bm A
and no one heard at all , not even the chair
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
i Am , i cried , i Am , said i
D Bm A
and i Am lost , and i can’t even say why
E
leavin’ me lonely still

A
did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
D
and then became one
E
well , except for the names and a few other changes
E7 A
if you talk about me , the story’s the same one

A
but i got an emptiness deep inside
D
and i’ve tried but it won’t let me go
E
and i’m not a man who likes to swear
E7 A Asus4 A
but i’ve never cared for the sound of being alone

A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
i Am , i said , to no one there
D Bm A
and no one heard at all , not even the chair
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
i Am , i cried , i Am , said i
D Bm A
and i Am lost , and i can’t even say why

A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
i Am , i said i Am , i cried

i Am . . . .
