[Verse]
First four lines are spoken, next two sung:
G C G
LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time
D
And the feeling is lay-back
D7 D7 D7 D7
Palm trees grow and rents are low but you know, I keep thinkin' 'bout
G
Makin' my way back
G G7 C
Well, I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays I'm lost between two shores.
D7 D7 G
LA's fine but it ain't home. 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.
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
G
I am I said
G
I am I cried
I am...
