A (played 1 time)


A                                  A
L.A. is fine, sunshine most of the time
        D                          D
And the feeling is laid back
E
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
E 
But you know I keep thinking about
A                    A
Making my way back


          A                               A
Well, I'm New York City born and raised
                                   D      D
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
E
L.A. is fine, but it ain't home
E                                  A      A
New York's home but it ain't mine no more


Chorus:
------
         A           A         D          D
I am, I said,     to no one there
    D                     [f#  e      d]  A (hold)
And no one heard at all, not even the chair
         A           A         D          D
I am, I cried,    I am,   said I 
    D                     [f#  e      d]  A
And I am lost,  and I    can't even say  why
[c#  b    a  ]   E (hold)      Intro. (2 times)
Leavin'   me     lonely still


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've 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 being alone


Chorus:
------
         A           A         D          D
I am, I said,     to no one there
    D                     [f#  e      d]  A (hold)
And no one heard at all, not even the chair
         A           A         D          D
I am, I cried,    I am,   said I 
    D                     [f#  e      d]  A
And I am lost,  and I    can't even say  why


         A           A         D          D
I am, I said,     to no one there

I Am . . . .(fade out)
