And I can't find my way, and
[Chorus]
D G D
I'm walking down the sidewalks of LA

Wishing I had a warmer jacket

And the leaves are falling down
C G
I'm just another man
D A G
With an empty handed heart
D A
In an eee-mpty hearted town
[Verse]

It started out alright

That's my song

Now the night is falling hard and fast

And the lights of the city stretch as far as the eye can see
C G Em
Look what wonders man has made
C G A
Look what wonders man has made
[Chorus]

I'm walking down the sidewalks of LA

Wishing I had a warmer jacket

And the leaves are falling down

I'm just another man

With an empty handed heart

I'm walking down the sidewalks of LA
