I spend my days [D] writing letters, I spend [Em] my evenings [C] singing [G] songs.
The last five years have gone [D] so quickly, someday soon my time will [G] be done.
And I used to walk in New [D] York City, watch [Em] the sunrise east of [C] Tompkins Square.
Since I've [G] been gone, does [D] the city miss me?
I [Em] wonder if she hears my [G] call.
Though I am far away, though I [D] am all alone, there [Em] are parts of me still [C] are holding on.
[G] So all this love since past, the [D] secrets I recall, the friends [Em] I used to have who I [C] don't know [D] [G] anymore.
I watch the sky, each [D] new city is not [Em] so different.
I've seen [C] more stars, [G] now I'm counting clouds.
To calm [D] my feelings, I'm reaching [Em] to reach away in [C] the dark.
Though I [G] am far away, though [D] I am all alone, there [Em] are parts of me still [C] are holding on.
[G] So all this love since past, [D] the secrets I recall, the friends [Em] I used to have who I [C] don't know [D] [G] anymore.
I
[Em] don't wanna [G] be seen [G] like I don't [D] care.
[Em] It's [G] hard for me [D] to [G] care what I dream.
I'm [D] not in Memphis, I'm on [Em] my way home on that [C] train.
[G] And I don't feel so [D] lost and different.
[Em] Lord, the miles, how they cut [G] me deep.
Though I am far away, though [D] I am all alone, there [Em] are parts of me still [C] are holding [G] on.
So all this love since past, the [D] secrets I recall, the friends [Em] I used to have who I [C] don't know [D] [G] anymore.
