Tom: G5
Verse:  
 
First four lines are spoken, next two sung:
G5               C5           G5
LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time
D5
And the feeling is laid back
D5                    D5                   D5                   D5
Palm trees grow and rents are low but-I-gotta-feeling-like-I-gotta-start
G5
Making my way back
G5                                                   G5                C5
I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays I'm lost between two shores.
D5                                D5                                  G5   
LA's fine but it ain't home and New York's home but it ain't mine no more.
 
Chorus:
G5
I am I said
           C5
To noone there
D5         D5                 D5 - C5 - G5    D5
And noone heard at all, not even the chair
G5
I am I cried
          C5
I am said I
     D5     D5             D5 - C5 - G5      D5
And I am lost and I don't even know why
 
(tacit) Leaving me lonely still
 
Verse 2:
Did-you-ever-hear-about-the-frog-who-dreamed-about-being-a-king
And suddenly became one?
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
My story's the same one
But I have an emptiness deep inside so strong it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear but I've never cared for the sound
   of being alone.
 
Chorus
