To play with the studio version, capo 2. Or transpose it, but going from an Abm to a C#m isn't cake. Isn't hard, either, if you just use power chords. F#m Bm As I walk through the streets of my new city E A my back feeling much better, I suppose F#m Bm I've reclaimed the use of my imagination E A for better or for worse, I've yet to know F#m Bm but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me, E A I guess that's why it took so long to get things right. F#m Suddenly I'm lost Bm On my street, On my block E Oh why, Oh why A D Oh why haven't you been there for me? E A Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time? F#m Bm This time it's for real, I can see E All the trees are turning red The beggars near bodegas grin at me I think they want something E I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe A And be calm. Be calm. D A I know you feel like you are breaking down. F#m B D Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes. E Be calm. F#m Bm I'm scared that everyone is out to get me. E A "These days before you speak to me you pause." F#m Bm "I always see you looking out your window." E A "After all, you lost your band, you left your mom." F#m Bm Now every single crack, every pain that I pass, E A says I should either leave or pick it up F#m But with every single buck I've made Bm I'm saddled with bad luck that came E the moment I was baptized E or when I found out one day I'm gonna die if only I could find my people or my place in life then when they come to 'carolin' so loud, so bright, the theremin will lead us to a chorus E where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes: A And be calm. Be calm. D A I know you feel like you are breaking down. F#m B D Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes. E Be calm. A C#m Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. F#m You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive F#m Bm and everything's wrong D Bm It just gets so hard sometimes E Be calm. F#m E C#m Bm I don't remember much that night, A E A E Just walking, thinking fondly of you F#m E C#m Bm A Thinking how the worst is yet to come E A E A From that street corner came a song A D And I can't remember the man, E A The panhandler or his melody. F#m E C#m Bm E The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee. A And be calm. Be calm. D A I know you feel like you are breaking down. F#m B D Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes. E Be calm. A C#m Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. F#m You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive F#m Bm and everything's wrong D Bm It just gets so hard sometimes E F#m Be calm. Be calm.
