[Verse 1]
G                       C        
I’ve been living in New York for 
D                    G
seven years, now I’m not.
G                 C              
Winter’s cold and long, summer’s 
D
hot.
G               C         D     
Spending all my days just 
         G
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.

[Verse 2]
G               C        D      
Came here on my own on a long 
     G
summer drive
G                      C         
from the desert to the east 
   D
shining sea,
G                          C     
and in the hidden valley I found 
             D            G
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               
Traveled over the ocean,I’ve seen 
D             G
sun from many sides.
G                    C      
I’ve seen strong men crawl and 
          D
babies rise.
G             C                 
Ridden on the last train out to 
D                G
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]
