Coney Island

C          Am           F
I found a letter in the mailbox 
today
              C                
And I said, "thank you for your 
  G
thoughts, but I'm done."
C           Am            F
I said that I would never build this
 up right here
        C                       
And he said, "that's why I can't 
 G
work with you son."

             F        C     Am
But I can't let this go I'm on my 
way
         F              G
You can only hold my diamond ring

             F        C          
But I'll go crawling back to the 
Am
city I love
             F             G
Cause it's already taken everything

I'm going to Coney Island have 
myself a dog
And reminisce why I still hate it 
here
It's all these people with their 
cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet, now put the train in 
gear

But I can't let this go I'm on my 
way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the 
city I love
Cause it's already taken everything

The ground is swallowing my options 
for release
And if it rains they might just 
disappear
I counted 27 birds up there today
I'm thinking that's why I still love
 it here
I'm thinking that's why I still love
 it here

But I can't let this go I'm on my 
way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the 
city I love
Cause it's already taken everything
Cause it's already taken everything
