C          Am           F
I found a letter in the mailbox today
              C                  G
And I said, "thank you for your thoughts, but I'm done."
C           Am            F
I said that I would never build this up right here
        C                        G
And he said, "that's why I can't work with you son."

             F        C     Am  
But I can't let this go I'm on my way
         F              G
You can only hold my diamond ring
             F        C          Am
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
             F             G
Cause it's already taken everything

I'm going to Coney Island have myself a dog
And reminisce why I still hate it here
It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet, now put the train in gear

But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything

The ground is swallowing my options for release
And if it rains they might just disappear
I counted 27 birds up there today
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here

But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything
Cause it's already taken everything
