Hill is fine, sun shines most of the time,
[Eb] and the field is laid back.
[F] Palm trees grow, the rents are low, but you know I keep thinking about making [Bb] my way back.
Well I'm New York City born and raised, but nowadays I'm [Eb] lost between two shores.
[F] Hill is fine, but it ain't home.
New York's home, but it ain't [Bb] mine no more.
I am, I said, to no [Eb] one there, and no one heard it or not, [Bb] even the chair.
I am, I cried, I [Eb] am, said I, and I am lost and I can't [Bb] even say why, [F]
[Bb] leaving me lonely still.

Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king,

[F] And I'm not a man who likes to swear, but I never cared for the sound of [Bb] being alone.
I am, I said, to no one [Eb] there, and no one heard it or not, even [Bb] the chair.
I am, I cried, I am, [Eb] said I, and I am lost and I can't even [Bb] say why, [F] leaving me lonely still.
