and since [F] it's very small thing it's for his serious radio thing and so [N] I said
yeah I'm in town let's let's do a little Billy Joel stuff so I'm gonna do it
Pink's gonna be there a bunch of really fun people.
It's a little nervous but I'm okay.
So you know what so I'm gonna do a song and it's one of my [D] favorite Billy Joel
songs right Billy you know when I was in high school okay the [F] song came out [Bb] now I
have never ever [C] performed this song [D] which you will understand for obvious
reasons [F] sort of [Dm] back then because this song [C] came out and I was like oh I wish [Db] I
could sing that song [C] because I relate to that [Cm] song so [F] much [D]
but I couldn't sing it
because at the time well you'll understand [A]
but [F] I'm gonna sing it for you
now because I can [Bb] sing it the top of my [A] lungs [Eb] I'm not afraid of we've been there
and back I think you'll understand that back then in [F] high school this was a very
definite emotion of mine [Db] for you I'll stop I'll just sing a song [G] just wanted
to make sure you [C]
understood that I could not sing this song but I can [B] sing it now
[F] and I relate to it and I'm gonna sing it proud.
