INTRO: Ab5 C#5 Ab5 Ab5 C#5 F#5 B5 Bb5 Ab5 C#5 F#5 Ab5 C#5 As I walk through the streets of my new city F#5 B5 my back feeling much better, I suppose Bb5 Ab5 C#5 I've reclaimed the use of my imagination F#5 B5 for better or for worse, I've yet to know Bb5 Ab5 C#5 but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me, F#5 B5 Bb5 I guess that's why it took so long to get things right. Ab5 Suddenly I'm lost C#5 On my street On my block F#5 Oh why, Oh why B5 E5 Oh why haven't you been there for me? F#5 B5 Bb5 Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time? Ab5 C#5 This time it's for real, I can see F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * All the trees are turning red F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * F#5 * The beggars near bodegas grin at me F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * I think they want something F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * F#5 * I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe B5 and be calm. Be calm. E5 B5 I know you feel like you are breaking down. Ab5 C#5 E5 Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes. F#5 Be calm. Ab5 C#5 I'm scared that everyone is out to get me. F#5 B5 Bb5 "These days before you speak to me you pause." Ab5 C#5 "I always see you looking out your window." F#5 B5 Bb5 "After all, you lost your band, you left your mom." Ab5 C#5 Now every single crack, every pain that I pass, F#5 B5 Bb5 says I should either leave or pick it up Ab5 But with every single buck I've made C#5 I'm saddled with bad luck that came F#5 the moment I was baptized F#5 * or when I found out one day I'm gonna die Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * F#5 * Ab5 * C#5 * if only I could find my people or my place in life F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * then when they come to 'carolin' F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * so loud, so bright, the theremin F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * will lead us to a chorus C#5 * F#5 * Ab5 * Bb5 * C#5 * F#5 where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes: B5 Oh be calm. Be calm. E5 B5 I know you feel like you are breaking down. Ab5 C#5 E5 I know that it gets so hard sometimes, F#5 Be calm. B5 Eb5 Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. Ab5 You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive Ab5 Bb5 * B5 * C#5 and e-very--thing's wrong E5 C#5 It just gets so hard sometimes F#5 Be calm. Ab5 F#5 Eb5 C#5 I don't remember much that night, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 F#5 * Ab5 * B5 * Just walking, thinking fondly of you Ab5 F#5 Eb5 C#5 B5 Thinking how the worst is yet to come F#5 B5 F#5 B5 From that street corner came a song B5 * C#5 * Eb5 * E5 * And I can't remember the man, F#5 B5 Bb5 The panhandler or his melody. Ab5 F#5 Eb5 C#5 F#5 The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee. B5 Oh be calm. Be calm. E5 B5 I know you feel like you are breaking down. Ab5 C#5 E5 I know that it gets so hard sometimes, F#5 Be calm. B5 Eb5 Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. Ab5 You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive Ab5 Bb5 B5 C#5 and e-very--thing's wrong E5 C#5 It just gets so hard sometimes F#5 Be calm. Ab5 Be calm.

Bb5 Bb5 G5 D5 Eb5 F5 We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts. Eb5 D5 C5 F5 It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye. Bb5 Bb5 G5 and then you turned, put out your hand, F5 Eb5 F5 and you asked me to dance. Eb5 D5 C5 F5 I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight. Eb5 F5 Bb5 Bb5 G5 F5 I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose. Eb5 F5 Bb5 Bb5 G5 F5 I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
