Bb    
LA's fine, the sun shines most the time    
Eb                              
And the feeling is "lay back."    
F    
Palm trees grow and rents are low    
    
But you know, I keep thinkin' about    
Bb    
Making my way back.    
    
Bb    
Well I'm New York City born and raised    
                              Eb    
But nowadays I'm lost between two shores.    
F    
LA's fine but it ain't home.     
                                     Bb    
New York's home but it ain't mine no more    

 
Bb                     Eb    
"I am," I said to no one there,    
    
And no one heard at all,    
             Bb    F    
Not even the chair.    
    
Bb                      Eb    
"I am," I cried; "I am," said I,    
                                   Bb  F    
And I am lost and I can't even say why—    
                  Bb    
Leaving me lonely still.
    
    
Bb    
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king    
Eb    
And then became one?    
F    
Well, except for the names and a few other changes,   
    
If you talk about me    
Bb    
The story's the same one.    
    
Bb    
But I've got an emptiness deep inside.    
                             Eb    
I tried, but it won't let me go.    
F    
And I'm not a man who likes to swear,     
                                         Bb    
but I never cared for the sound of being alone.    
    
Chorus:    
    
Bb    
Oh no oh no (fade)
