A
L.A. is fine, the sun shines most of the time,
D
 And the feeling is laid back.
E                   E7
Palm trees grow and rents are low,
        E           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                 E7
L.A. is fine, but it ain't home,
E                   E7               A Asus4 A
New York's home but it ain't mine no more.

A           A A Asus4 A          D   D 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            A A Asus4 A           D  D 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          E7     E
Leavin' me lonely still.

 Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king,
D
 and then became one?
      E              E7
Well, except for the names and a few other changes,
E                 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                 E7
And I'm not a man who likes to swear,
    E                     E7              A Asus4 A
but I never cared for the sound of being alone.

I am, I said,          to no one there
    D                        Bm       A
And no one heard at all, not even the chair.

I am, I cried,          I am, said I
    D                      Bm       A
And I am lost, and I can't even say why.

I am, I said           I am, I cried
