[Verse 1]
G C D G
I’ve been living in New York for seven years, now I’m not.
G C D
Winter’s cold and long, summer’s hot.
G C D G
Spending all my days just keeping what I got,
G C D
trying to write the words to a song.
C D G
And everybody else is getting on,
C D
everybody else.
[Chorus 1]
G Em Am D
Em Am D
G Em Am D
Em Am D
[Verse 2]
G C D G
Came here on my own on a long summer drive
G C D
from the desert to the east shining sea,
G C D G
and in the hidden valley I found the sweetest stars in the sky,
G C D
so I sat up at the top of the tree.
C D G
And everybody else was dancing free,
C D
everybody else.
[Chorus 2]
G Em Am D
Em Am D
G Em Am D
Em Am D
[Verse 3]
G C D G
Traveled over the ocean,I’ve seen sun from many sides.
G C D
I’ve seen strong men crawl and babies rise.
G C D G
Ridden on the last train out to Brooklyn late at night,
G C D
snuck in with the water on my feet.
C D G
And everybody else was fast asleep,
C D
everybody else.
[Chorus 3]
G Em Am D
Em Am D
G Em Am D
Em Am D
