[Intro]
| A D | A D |  x3

[Verse 1]
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 but you know,  
       E7              A 
I keep thinking about..making my way back. 

[Verse 2]
          A                                                  
Well, I'm New York City born and raised, 
                 A7               D 
but nowadays I'm lost between two shores, 
E                        E7                                   
L.A.'s fine but it ain't home, 
E                   E7               A                
New York's home but it ain't mine no more. 
  
[Chorus]
A                       D 
I am, I said, to no one there, 
                                      A      
and no one heard at all, not even the chair. 
E       A                 D 
I am, I cried, I am, said I, 
                                   A          
and I am lost and I can’t even say why...
E          A             D A E A
leaving me lonely still. 

[Verse 3]
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 
If you talk about me..the story's the same one. 

[Verse 4]
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, 
                             E7              A 
but I've never cared for the sound of being alone. 
  
[Chorus]
A                       D 
I am, I said, to no one there, 
                                      A      
and no one heard at all, not even the chair. 
E       A                 D 
I am, I cried, I am, said I, 
                                   A          
and I am lost and I cant even say why...
E          A             D A E A
leaving me lonely still. 

[Outro]
A                       D 
I am, I said, to no one there, 
                                      A      
and no one heard at all, not even the chair. 
E       A                 D 
I am, I cried, I am, said I, 
                                   A          
and I am lost and I cant even say why...
E          A             D A E A
leaving me lonely still.
