[Verse 1]

          *
 most the time

.

ing is laid ba

   *
ck.

Palm trees gro

w and rents ar

e low,

 keep thinking

 about.
             
  Making my wa

       *
y back.

[Verse 2]
      
Well, I'm New

een two shores

                                             /
             
And I am, lost

[Verse 3]

    *

If you talk ab

out me.
             
  The story's 

             *
the same one.

[Verse 4]
    
But I got an e

mptiness deep 

inside.
             
  And I've tri

            
ed but it won'

               *
t let me go.
             
And I'm not a 

        
man who likes 

to swear.
             
But I never ca

air.
                              |  2/4   |

        
I am, I cried,

         
         I am,

          
 said I.
                                             /
             
And I am, lost

I am, I said, 

         
         I am,

         
 I cried.
                     /
             
I am. . .
