I Am I Said
Verse:
First four lines are spoken, next two sung:
G C G
LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time
D
And the feeling is laid back
D7 D7 D7 D7
Palm trees grow and rents are low but-I-gotta-feeling-like-I-gotta-start
G
Making my way back
G G7 C
I'm New York City born and raised but nowadays I'm lost between two shores.
D7 D7 G
LA's fine but it ain't home and New York's home but it ain't mine no more.
Chorus:
G
I am I said
C
To noone there
D D7 D-C-G D
And noone heard at all, not even the chair
G
I am I cried
C
I am said I
D D7 D-C-G D
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
Chorus.
