 An open base note on the E string sounds good when alternated between the 5 
 and 2 during the chorus. 
  
 And heres the lyrics 
  
 Well things were spinnin round me 
 And all my thoughts were cloudy 
 And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me 
 Been in so many places 
 You know Ive run so many races 
 And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night 
 And something is just not right  cause I know 
  
 CHORUS: 
  
 That I gotta get out of here 
 Im so alone 
 Dont you know that I gotta get out of here 
 Cause New Yorks not my home 
  
 Though all the streets are crowded 
 Theres something strange about it 
 Lived there bout a year and I never once felt at home 
 I though Id make the big time 
 I learned a lot of lessons awful quick 
 And now Im tellin you 
 That they were not the nice kind 
 And its been so long since I have felt fine  thats the reason 
  
 (Repeat Chorus)
