Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]L.A.'s fine, the [C]sun shines most the [G]time
[C]And the feeling is "lay back"
[D]Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
[G]Making my way back

[Pre-chorus 1]
Well I'm [G]New York City born and [C]raised
[G]But nowadays I'm lost between two[C] shores
[D]L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home
New York's home
But it ain't mine [G]no more

[Chorus 1]
"I am"... I [G]said
To no one [C]there
And no one heard at all
Not e[G]ven [Am]the c[G]hair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said [C]I
And I am lost and I can't
E[G]ven [Am]say w[G]hy
[D]Leavin' me lone

[Interlude 1]
[G]ly sti[C]ll[G][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Did you [G]ever read about a [C]frog
Who dreamed of [G]bein' a king
[C]And then became one
Well ex[D]cept for the names
And a few other changes
If you talk about me
[G]The story is the sam[C]e one
[G][C]

[Pre-chorus 2]
But [G]I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me [C]go
And [D]I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I never cared
For the sound of being a[G]lone[C][G]

[Chorus 2]
"I am"... I [G]said
To no one [C]there
And no one heard at all
Not e[G]ven [Am]the c[G]hair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said [C]I
And I am lost and I can't
E[G]ven [Am]say w[G]hy

[Outro 1]
"I am"... I [G]said
"I am"... [C]I cried
"I am"
[G][Am][G]
[Fade out]
