I Am I Said

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.
