[Intro] E* A* - A A9 / E* A* - A A9 A4 2x (* = Bass-Strings only)
A A4 A A4 / A A4 A A4
A
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines, most of the time,
D
and the feeling is laid back.
E
Palm trees grow and rents are low
E A
but you know-a_keep thinking about..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.'s fine but it ain't home,
E A A4 A
New York's home but it ain't mine no more.
A A4 A D D E(4.) D(5.)
I am, I said, to no one there,
D A A4 A
and no one heard at all, not even the chair.
A A4 A D D E(4.) D(5.)
I am, I cried, I am, said I,
D A E
and I am lost and I can’t / even say why...
A E* A* - A A9 / E* A* - A A9 A4
leaving me lonely still.
A
Did you ever hear about the frog who dreamed of
D
being a king...and then became one?
E
Well, except for the names and a few other changes,
A
let me talk about me.. The story's the same one.
A
But I have an emptiness deep inside, and I tried,
D
but it won't let me go,
E
and I'm not a man who likes to swear,
A
but I've never cared for the sound of being alone.
[Chorus] 2x
A A4 A D D E(4.) D(5.)
I am, I said, to no one there....
