I Am ... I Said

Intro: E|----1-----3---|----1-----3--| B|----3--4--4---|----3--4--4--| G|-------5------|-------5-----| A|--1-----------|--1----------| E|-1------------|-1-----------| LA's fine, the sun shines most the time And the feeling is "lay back." Palm trees grow and rents are low But you know, I keep thinkin' about Making my way back. Well I'm New York City born and raised But nowadays I'm lost between two shores. LA's fine but it ain't home. New York's home but it ain't mine no more "I am," I said to no one there, And no one heard at all, Not even the chair. "I am," I cried; "I am," said I, And I am lost and I can't even say why— Leaving 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've got an emptiness deep inside. I tried, but it won't let me go. And I'm not a man who likes to swear, but I never cared for the sound of being alone. Chorus: Oh no oh no (fade)
