  F#m                                   Bm
As I walk through the streets of my new city

   E                              A
my back feeling much better, I suppose

      F#m                       Bm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination

    E                               A
for better or for worse, I've yet to know

    F#m                                Bm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,

                E                             A
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.

F#m
Suddenly I'm lost

       Bm
On my street, On my block

   E
Oh why, Oh why

   A               D
Oh why haven't you been there for me?

          E                 A
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?

F#m                Bm
This time it's for real, I can see

E
All the trees are turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me I think they want something E I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
       A
And be calm. Be calm.

           D                          A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.

       F#m          B                D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

   E
Be calm.

  F#m                              Bm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.

       E                             A
"These days before you speak to me you pause."

  F#m                              Bm
"I always see you looking out your window."

    E                                      A
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."

    F#m                        Bm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,

     E                                A
says I should either leave or pick it up

    F#m
But with every single buck I've made

    Bm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came

    E
the moment I was baptized

                                       E
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life then when they come to 'carolin' so loud, so bright, the theremin will lead us to a chorus E where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
       A
And be calm. Be calm.

           D                          A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.

       F#m          B                D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

   E
Be calm.

             A                              C#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

              F#m
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive

   F#m                Bm
and everything's wrong

        D                Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes

   E
Be calm.

  F#m     E      C#m       Bm
I don't remember much that night,

     A         E       A       E
Just walking, thinking fondly of you

 F#m     E       C#m       Bm    A
Thinking how the worst is yet to come

E                A      E     A
From that street corner came a song

    A             D
And I can't remember the man,

    E                 A
The panhandler or his melody.

    F#m     E           C#m    Bm      E
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee. 

       A
And be calm. Be calm.

           D                          A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.

       F#m          B                D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

   E
Be calm.

             A                              C#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

              F#m
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive

   F#m                Bm
and everything's wrong

        D                Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes

   E       F#m
Be calm.   Be calm.
