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