[Verse]
Bb                                    
La's fine the sun shines most the time
Eb                            
■  And the feeling is lay back
F                                
Palm trees grow and rents are low
        F                         
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Bb                
Making my way back
     Bb                               
Well I'm New York City born and raised
    Bb      
But nowadays
                 Eb        
I'm lost between two shores


[Chorus]
F                            
■ La's fine but it ain't home
F              
New York's home
                     Bb  
But it ain't mine no more
       Fsus4 Bb
I am I said  ■ 
          Eb   
To no one there
           Eb          
And no one heard at all
    Bb            
Not even the chair
Bb          
I am I cried
          Eb
I am said I 
                  Eb     
And I am lost and I can't
         Bb 
Even say why
F            Bb          
■ Leavin' me lonely still


[Verse]
Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Fsus4
■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■    
        Bb                Eb  
Did you ever read about a frog
               Bb          
Who dreamed of bein' a king
Eb                    
■  And then became one
F                        
Well except for the names
      F                
And a few other changes
F7                  
If you talk about me
Bb                          
■  The story is the same one
    Bb                            
But I got an emptiness deep inside
         Bb   
And I've tried
                    Eb
But it won't let me go


[Chorus]
F                                   
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
F7               
But I never cared
                       Bb    Fsus4 Bb
For the sound of being alone ■     ■ 
       Bb  
I am I said
          Eb   
To no one there
           Eb          
And no one heard at all
    Bb            
Not even the chair
Bb          
I am I cried
          Eb
I am said I 
                  Eb     
And I am lost and I can't
         Bb 
Even say why
       Bb  
I am I said


[Outro]
     Eb     
I am I cried
     Bb
I am ■
