INTRO: AbmC#mAbm AbmC#mF# BBbm6 AbmC#mF#
AbmC#m As I walk through the streets of my new city F#B my back feeling much better, I suppose Bbm6AbmC#m I've reclaimed the use of my imagination F#B for better or for worse, I've yet to know Bbm6AbmC#m but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me, F#BBbm6 I guess that's why it took so long to get things right. Abm Suddenly I'm lost C#m On my street
On my block F# Oh why, Oh why BE Oh why haven't you been there for me? F#BBbm6 Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time? AbmC#m This time it's for real, I can see
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* All the trees are turning red F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#* The beggars near bodegas grin at me F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* I think they want something F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#* I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
B and be calm.
Be calm. EB I know you feel like you are breaking down. AbmC#mE Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes. F# Be calm.
AbmC#m I'm scared that everyone is out to get me. F#BBbm6 "These days before you speak to me you pause." AbmC#m "I always see you looking out your window." F#BBbm6 "After all, you lost your band, you left your mom." AbmC#m Now every single crack, every pain that I pass, F#BBbm6 says I should either leave or pick it up Abm But with every single buck I've made C#m I'm saddled with bad luck that came F# the moment I was baptized F#* or when I found out one day I'm gonna die Abm* Bbm* C#* F#* Abm* C#m* if only I could find my people or my place in life F#* Abm* Bb* C#m* then when they come to 'carolin' F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* so loud, so bright, the theremin F#* Abm* Bbm* will lead us to a chorus C#m* F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F# where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
B Oh be calm.
Be calm. EB I know you feel like you are breaking down. AbmC#mE I know that it gets so hard sometimes, F# Be calm. BD#m Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times. Abm You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive AbmA#m* B* C#m and e-very--thing's wrong EC#m It just gets so hard sometimes F# Be calm.
AbmF#D#mC#m I don't remember much that night, BF#BF#F#* Ab* B* Just walking, thinking fondly of you AbmF#D#mC#mB Thinking how the worst is yet to come F#BF#B From that street corner came a song B* C#m* D#m* E* And I can't remember the man, F#BBbm6 The panhandler or his melody. AbmF#D#mC#mF# The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
B Oh be calm.
