I am I said

7 7     7     7   7    7     7    7   7 
L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time

-6  -6   -6 -6  -6  -6   -6
And the feeling is 'lay back'

 -7   -7    -7   -7  -7   -7   -7  -7
Palm trees grow, and the rents are low

-7  -7   -7 -7  -7   -7 -7     -7
But you know I keep thinkin' .bout

 7  7  7   7   7
Making my way back

 6    6   6   6   6 6   6    6    6
Well I'm New York City born and raised

 6   6 6 6     6   7    7  7   -6   -6
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores

6 6     -7   -7  -8  -8    -7
L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home

 6    6     -7   -7  -8  -8    7   -7 7 6
New York's home, but it ain't mine no more

 8 8    6   6  8  8   6   -6
"I am," I said,To no one there

-6  -6 -8   -6   -8 -6  -8  -6 6 -5    6
And no one heard at all not even the chair

 8 8    6   6    8 8      6 -6
"I am," I cried,"I am," said I

-6 -6 -8  -6   -8 -6  -8   -6 6 -5   6 
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

 -5 -5  6   -5 5    7
Leavin' me lonely still

 7   7  7 7   7     7   7   7   7     7
Did you ever read .bout a frog who dreamed 

7  7 7   7  7   -6   -6  -6 -6  -6
of bein' a king,and then became one

 -7  -7 -7  -7  -7   -7   -7 -7 -7  -7 -7  -7 -7
Well except for the names and a few other changes

 -7  -7   -7  -7 -7 -7   7   7 7     7   7    7
when you talk about me, the story's the same one

 5  6  6  6   6  6  6   6   6  6 
But I got an emptiness deep inside

 6   6     6     6  6    7    7  7  -6
And I've tried, but it won't let me go

 6   6   6  6 -7  -7   -8   -8  -7
And I'm not a man who likes to swear

 6  6  6 6   -7   -7  -7   -8   -8 -8 7 -7 7
But I never cared for the sound of being alone

 8 8    6  6   8  8   6   -6
"I am," I said,To no one there

-6  -6 -8   -6   -8 -6  -8  -6 6 -5    6
And no one heard at all not even the chair

 8 8    6   6    8 8      6 -6
"I am," I cried,"I am," said I

-6 -6 -8  -6   -8 -6  -8   -6 6 -5   6
And I am lost, and I can't even say why

-5 -5   6   -5 5    7
Leavin' me lonely still
