And [Eb] _ _ the feeling is laid back. _
[F] Palm trees grow and rents are low, but you know, keep thinking about [Bb] _

_ _ _ I am the [Eb] sly.
_ _ _ And I am lost and I can't even say [Bb] why. _
_ _ [F] _ _ Leaving [Bb] me lonely still.

[Eb] _ [Bb] Did _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king?
_ _ _ [Eb] _
And who became one.
_ _ _ [F] Well, except for the names and a few other changes if you talk about me.
_ _ _ [Bb] The story is the same one.
_ _ _ But I got an emptiness deep inside and I've tried.
_ But it [Eb] won't let me go. _

[Bb] being alone.

_ _ _ And I am lost and I can't even [Bb] say why.

still.
