[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]

[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]

[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
