Be Calm

   F#m                             
As I walk through the streets of my
     Bm
 new city
   E                          
my back feeling much better, I 
    A
suppose
       F#m                  
I've reclaimed the use of my 
      Bm
imagination
    E                              
for better or for worse, I've yet 
  A
to know
             F#m                   
But I always knew you'd be the one 
        Bm
to understand me,
               E                   
I guess that's why it took so long 
           A
to get things right.
F#m
Suddenly I'm lost
      Bm
On my street, on my block
   E
Oh why, oh why
   A               D
Oh why haven't you been there for 
me?
          E                  A
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind 
this time?
     F#m                   Bm
This time I think it's for real, I 
can see
E
All the treetops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to 
E
breathe

[Chorus]
       A
And be calm. Be calm.
           D                
I know you feel like you are 
          A
breaking down.
       F#m          Bm         
Well I know that it gets so hard 
      D
sometimes.
   E
Be calm.

    F#m                            
I'm scared that everyone is out to 
Bm
get me.
       E                           
"These days before you speak to me 
  A
you pause."
   F#m                             
"I always see you looking out your 
Bm
window."
       E                           
"After all, you lost your band, you
         A
 left your mom."
    F#m                       Bm
Now every single crack, every penny 
that I pass,
     E                             
says I should either leave or pick 
   A
it up
         F#m
But with every single buck I've made
    Bm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
    E
the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm 
      E
gonna die
If only I could find my people or my
 place in life
Then when they come a-carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a 
          E
song that goes:

[Chorus]
       A
Oh, be calm. Be calm.
           D                
I know you feel like you are 
          A
breaking down.
       F#m          Bm         
Well I know that it gets so hard 
      D
sometimes.
   E
Be calm.
             A                     
Take it from me, I've been there a 
       C#m
thousand times.
              F#m
You hate your pulse because it 
thinks you're still alive
                 Bm
and everything's wrong
        D                Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes
   E
Be calm.

[Verse 3]
  F#m     E      C#m       Bm
I don't remember much that night,
     A        E        A      E
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
F#m      E        C#m      Bm   
Thinking that the worst is yet to 
  A
come
E              A        E      A
From that street corner came a song
    A5 B5    C#5  D
And I  can't re - member the man,
    E                 A   E/G#
The panhandler or his melody.
    F#m     E           C#m   Bm
The words exchanged had far 
     E
exceeded any change I'd given thee.

[Chorus]
       A
And be calm. Be calm.
           D                
I know you feel like you are 
          A
breaking down.
       F#m          Bm         
Well I know that it gets so hard 
      D
sometimes.
   E
Be calm.
             A                     
Take it from me, I've been there a 
        C#m
thousand times.
              F#m
You hate your pulse because it still
 thinks you're alive
                 Bm
and everything's wrong
        D                Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes
   Dm  C#m  F#m
Be calm.  Be calm.
