Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 2x
L.A.  is fine, sunshine most of the time
And  the feeling is laid back
Palm  trees grow and the rents are low
 But you know  I keep thinking about
Making  my way back
Well,  I'm New York City born and raised
 But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.  is fine, but it ain't home
New  York's home but it ain't mine no more
 I am, I said,  to no one there
 And no  one heard at all, not even  the chair
 I am, I cried,  I am, said I
 And I  am lost, and I can't even  say why
 Leavin' me lonely  still
Did  you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
and  then became one
 Well, except  for the names and a few other changes
If  you talk about me,  the story's the same one
But  I got an emptiness deep inside
 And I've tried but it won't let me go
And  I'm not a man who likes to swear
But  I've never cared for the sound of being alone
 I am, I said,  to no one there
 And no  one heard at all, not even  the chair
 I am, I cried,  I am, said I
 And I  am lost, and I can't even  say why
 I am, I said  I am, I cried
 I  . . . .
