CAPO 1
C/B is just C with the root of B. (X22010)
INTRO:
Am Dm G
C C/B
Am Dm G
Am Dm
As I walk through the streets of my new city
G C
my back feeling much better, I suppose
C/B Am Dm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
G C
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
C/B Am Dm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
G C C/B
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Am
Suddenly I'm lost
Dm
On my street
On my block
G
Oh why, Oh why
C F
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
G C C/B
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Am Dm
This time it's for real, I can see
G
All the trees are turning red
G
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
G
I think they want something
G
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
G C
and be calm.
Be calm.
F C
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Am Dm F
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
G
Be calm.

Am Dm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
G C C/B
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Am Dm
"I always see you looking out your window."
G C C/B
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Am Dm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
G C C/B
says I should either leave or pick it up
Am
But with every single buck I've made
Dm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
G
the moment I was baptized
G
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
G
if only I could find my people or my place in life
G
then when they come to 'carolin'
G
so loud, so bright, the theremin
G
will lead us to a chorus
G
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
C
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
F C
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Am Dm F
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
G
Be calm.
C Em
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Am
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Am Dm
and e-very--thing's wrong
F Dm
It just gets so hard sometimes
G
Be calm.
Am G Em Dm
I don't remember much that night,
C G C G
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Am G Em Dm C
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
G C G C
From that street corner came a song
C F
And I can't remember the man,
G C G
The panhandler or his melody.
Am G Em Dm G
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
C
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
F C
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Am Dm F
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
G
Be calm.
C Em
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Am
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Am Dm
and e-very--thing's wrong
F Dm
It just gets so hard sometimes
G
Be calm.
Am
Be calm.
