B (x2444x@1)                                     F#As (244322@1)I walk through the streets of my new city 
F# (244322@1)                              B (x2444x@1)My back feeling much better, I suppose 
B (x2444x@1)                                 F#I've (244322@1)reclaimed the use of my imagination 
F# (244322@1)                                 B (x2444x@1)For better or for worse, I've yet to know 
B (x2444x@1)                                              F# (244322@1)But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me, 
F# (244322@1)                                             B (x2444x@1)I guess that's why it took so long to get things right. 

B (x2444x@1)Suddenly I'm lost 
F# (244322@1)On my street 
B (x2444x@1)On my block 
F# (244322@1)Oh why, Oh why 
F# B 
Oh why haven't you been there for me? 
B (x2444x@1)       F# (244322@1)               B (x2444x@1)       F# (244322@1)Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time? 
B (x2444x@1)This time it's for real, I can see 
F# (244322@1)The tops of trees are turning red 
F# (244322@1)The beggars near bodegas grin at me 
F# (244322@1)I think they want something 
F# (244322@1)I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe 
F# (244322@1)   B (x2444x@1)And be calm. 
B (x2444x@1)Be calm. 
B (x2444x@1)        F# (244322@1)                       B (x2444x@1)I know you feel like you are breaking down. 
B (x2444x@1)                             F# (244322@1)I know that it gets so hard sometimes. 
B (x2444x@1)Be calm. 
B (x2444x@1)                                    F# (244322@1)I'm scared that everyone is out to get me. 
F# (244322@1)                                   B (x2444x@1)"These days before you speak to me you pause." 
B (x2444x@1)                                   F# (244322@1)"I always see you looking out your window." 
F# (244322@1)                                          B (x2444x@1)"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom." 
B (x2444x@1)              E (022100@1)Now every single crack, every penny that I pass, 
F# (244322@1)          E (022100@1)                     B (x2444x@1)Says I should either leave or pick it up 
B (x2444x@1)                   E (022100@1)But with every single buck I've made 
E (022100@1)I'm saddled with bad luck that came 
F# (244322@1)The moment I was baptized 
F# (244322@1)Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die 
F# (244322@1)If only I could find my people or my place in life 
F# (244322@1)A when they come a'carolin' 
F# (244322@1)So loud, so bright, the theremin 
F# (244322@1)Will lead us to a chorus 
F# (244322@1)
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes: 
F# (244322@1)  B (x2444x@1)Oh be calm. 
B (x2444x@1)Be calm. 
B (x2444x@1)        F# (244322@1)                       B (x2444x@1)I know you feel like you are breaking down. 
B (x2444x@1)                             F# (244322@1)I know that it gets so hard sometimes. 
B (x2444x@1)Be calm. 
B (x2444x@1)Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. 
B (x2444x@1)           E (022100@1)                                  B (x2444x@1)You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive 
B (x2444x@1)              E (022100@1)And everything's wrong 
E (022100@1)                       F# (244322@1)It just gets so hard sometimes 
F# (244322@1)Be calm. 
E (022100@1)I don't remember much that night, 
B (x2444x@1)Just walking, thinking fondly of you 
E (022100@1)Thinking how the worst is yet to come 
F# (244322@1)                                 E (022100@1)When from that street corner came a song 
E (022100@1)And I can't remember the man, 
B (x2444x@1)                   F# (244322@1)The panhandler or his melody. 
E (022100@1)                 B (x2444x@1)              E (022100@1)                   F# (244322@1)The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
