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 But you know, I keep thinkin' about Bb Making my way back. Bb Well I'm New York City born and raised Eb But nowadays I'm lost between two shores. F LA's fine but it ain't home. Bb New York's home but it ain't mine no more
Bb Eb 'I am,' I said to no one there, And no one heard at all, Bb F Not even the chair. Bb Eb 'I am,' I cried; 'I am,' said I, Bb F And I am lost and I can't even say why? Bb Leaving me lonely still.
Bb Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king Eb And then became one? F Well, except for the names and a few other changes, If you talk about me Bb The story's the same one. Bb But I've got an emptiness deep inside. Eb I tried, but it won't let me go. F And I'm not a man who likes to swear, Bb but I never cared for the sound of being alone. Chorus: Bb Oh no oh no (fade)
