F#m Bm As I walk through the streets of my new cityE A my back feeling much better, I supposeF#m Bm I've reclaimed the use of my imaginationE A for better or for worse, I've yet to knowF#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 lostBm On my street, On my blockE Oh why, Oh whyA 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 seeE All the trees are turning red The beggars near bodegas grin at meI think they want something E I close my eyes, I tell myself to breatheA 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 upF#m But with every single buck I've madeBm I'm saddled with bad luck that cameE the moment I was baptizedE 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 thereminwill 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 aliveF#m Bm and everything's wrongD Bm It just gets so hard sometimesE Be calm.F#m E C#m Bm I don't remember much that night,A E A E Just walking, thinking fondly of youF#m E C#m Bm A Thinking how the worst is yet to comeE A E A From that street corner came a songA 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 aliveF#m Bm and everything's wrongD Bm It just gets so hard sometimesE F#m Be calm. Be calm.
