Diamond Neil — I Am, I Said

Verse:
 G               C           G  
LA's fine, the sun shines, most 'the time 
 D  
And the feeling is lay-back 
 D7                    D7                   D7   
Palm trees grow and rents are low but you know, 
                D7  
I keep thinkin' 'bout 
 G  
Makin' my way back 
 G                                      
Well, I'm New York City born and raised 
             G7                C  
but nowadays I'm lost between two shores. 
 D7                          
LA's fine but it ain't home. 
      D7                                  G    
New York's home but it ain't mine no more. 
  
Chorus: 
 G  
I am I said 
           C  
To no one there 
 D         D7                 D - C - G    D  
And no one 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 can't even say why 
 
(tacit) Leavin' me lonely still 
  
Verse 2: 
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king,  
And then became one? 
Well, except for the names and a few other changes, 
if you talk about me 
The story's the same one 
But I got an emptiness deep inside 
and I tried but 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 bein' alone. 
 
 G  
I am I said 
           C  
To no one there 
 D         D7                 D - C - G    D  
And no one 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 can't even say why 
 
 G  
I am I said 
 G  
I am I cried 
I am...
