Story Behind The Song

my cover of Neil Diamond

Lyrics

I am I said, performed by Neil Diamond


G
LA?s fine the sun shines most the time
C
And the feeling is ?lay back?
D
Palmtrees grow and rents are low

But you know, I keep thinkin? about
G
Making my way back

G
Well I?m New York City born and raised
C
Nowadays I?m lost between two shores
D
LA?s fine but it ain?t home
G
New York?s home but it ain?t mine no more

G C
I am I said, to no one there

And no one heard at all
G D
Not even the chair

G C
I am I cried, I am said I
G D
And I am lost and I can?t even say why
G
Leaving me lonely still

G
Did you read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
C
And then became one
D
Well except for the names and a few other changes

If you talk about me
G
The story is the same one

G
Well I've got an emptiness deep inside
C
I tried, but it won?t let me go
D
And I?m not a man who likes to swear, but
G
I never cared for the sound of being alone
