[Verse 1]
C          Am*         F*       C*
I found a letter in the mailbox today
              Am                G                C
And I said, "thank you for your thoughts, but I'm done."
C           Am           F
I said that I would never build this up right here
        C                        G
And he said, "that's why I can't work with you son."

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

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Verse 3]
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

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