To play with the studio version, capo 2 or transpose +2.
[Verse 1]
As F#mI walk through the streets of my new Bmcity
my Eback feeling much better, I supApose
I've reF#mclaimed the use of my imagiBmnation
for Ebetter or for worse, I've yet to Aknow
But I always F#mknew you'd be the one to underBmstand me,
I guess that's Ewhy it took so long to get thinAgs right.
F#mSuddenly I'm lost
On my Bmstreet, on my block
Oh Ewhy, oh why
Oh Awhy haven't you Dbeen there for me?
Can't you Esee, I'm losing my Amind this time?
This F#mtime I think it's for Bmreal, I can see
EAll the treetops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to Ebreathe
[Chorus]
And be Acalm. Be calm.
I know you Dfeel like you are breaking Adown.
Well I F#mknow that it Bmgets so hard someDtimes.
Be Ecalm.
[Verse 2]
I'm F#mscared that everyone is out to Bmget me.
"These Edays before you speak to me yoAu pause."
"I F#malways see you looking out your Bmwindow."
"After Eall, you lost your band, you left youAr mom."
Now F#mevery single crack, every Bmpenny that I pass,
says EI should either leave or pick it Aup
But with F#mevery single buck I've made
I'm Bmsaddled with bad luck that came
the Emoment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna Edie
If only I could find my people or my place in life
Then when they come a-carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that Egoes:
[Chorus]
Oh, be Acalm. Be calm.
I know you Dfeel like you are breaking Adown.
Well I F#mknow that it Bmgets so hard someDtimes.
Be Ecalm.
Take it from Ame, I've been there a thousanC#md times.
You hate your F#mpulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's Bmwrong
It just Dgets so hard someBmtimes
Be Ecalm.
[Verse 3]
I F#mdon't reEmember C#mmuch that Bmnight,
Just Awalking, Ethinking Afondly Eof you
F#mThinking Ethat the C#mworst is Bmyet to Acome
EFrom that streeAt corner Ecame a Asong
And A5I  B5can't C#5re - Dmember the man,
The Epanhandler or his AmeloE/G#dy.
The F#mwords exEchanged had C#mfar exBmceeded Eany change I'd given thee.
[Chorus]
And be Acalm. Be calm.
I know you Dfeel like you are breaking Adown.
Well I F#mknow that it Bmgets so hard someDtimes.
Be Ecalm.
Take it from Ame, I've been there a thousand C#mtimes.
You hate your F#mpulse because it still thinks you're alive
and everything's Bmwrong
It just Dgets so hard someBmtimes
Be DmcalmC#m.  Be F#mcalm.

[Verse 1]

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

On my street, on my block

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 I think it's for real, I can see

All the treetops turning red

The beggars near bodegas grin at me

I think they want something

I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

[Chorus]

And be calm. Be calm.

D A

I know you feel like you are breaking down.

F#m Bm D

Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

Be calm.

[Verse 2]

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 penny that I pass,

E A

says I should either leave or pick it up

F#m

But with every single buck I've made

I'm saddled with bad luck that came

the moment I was baptized

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 a-carolin'

so loud, so bright, the theremin

will lead us to a chorus

where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

[Chorus]

Oh, be calm. Be calm.

D A

I know you feel like you are breaking down.

F#m Bm D

Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

Be calm.

A C#m

Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

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

and everything's wrong

D Bm

It just gets so hard sometimes

Be calm.

[Verse 3]

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 that the worst is yet to come

E A E A

From that street corner came a song

A5 B5 C#5 D

And I can't re - member the man,

E A E/G#

The panhandler or his melody.

F#m E C#m Bm E

The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

[Chorus]

And be calm. Be calm.

D A

I know you feel like you are breaking down.

F#m Bm D

Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

Be calm.
