[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
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 I think it's for real, I can see
E
All the treetops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
E
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
[Chorus]
A
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.
E
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
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 a-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:
[Chorus]
A
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.
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
Bm
and everything's wrong
D Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes
E
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]
A
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.
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 still thinks you're alive
Bm
and everything's wrong
D Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes
Dm C#m F#m
Be calm. Be calm.
