[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
