[Intro]
G B7 C D7 *2
or
Riff *2
[Verse]
G
Well I'm gone again, give them my best
B7
I'll float my wishes to the west
C D7 G
When I come home, it'll all be fine
G
But it's the way it goes and ain't it so
B7
The fastest one to let it go
C D7 G
Always out of sight and out of mind
G B7 C D7
or
Riff *2
G
Now the coins go tumblin' through the cracks
B7
There aint no way she's ever gonna get them back
C D7 G
And the tears come hard like the cold November rain
G
And it's safe to say that we both know
B7
That I don't really have to say I told you so
C D7 G
Cause if I did, I'd have to again and again and again
[Chorus]
Em F#dim7
But with tattered wings
G G#dim7
Staggering against the wind
Am G
It's so damn hard to fly
Em F#dim7
But that old bird
G G#dim7
Never understood a word
Am Bbdim7 B7
Of taking flight alone without a plan
D7 G
I'll be there when she lands
G B7 C D7
or
Riff *2
[Verse]
G
Now the struggles on and it won't be long
B7
Til winter's clutch is holdin' strong
C D7 G
And I do believe it won't soon be letting go
G
So bid farewell to the ones you knew
B7
Like a drunk old sinner born a-new
C D7 G
And say hello to the sweeping winds of change
[Chorus]
Em F#dim7
Yeah, speed it up my friend
G G#dim7
The sooner you're caught, then the sooner you'll mend
Am G
And your wounds will heal in time
Em F#dim7 G G#dim7
It takes one to know one
Am Bbdim7
Now you should know that by now
B7
Don't you feel bad?
D7 G
It's all you ever had
[Bridge]
Em Am
And though I really can't believe the things that I have seen
D7 G
It puts my feet back on the ground where yours probably should have been
C C#7 B7 D7 G
All along, throughout the song, three Manhattans and we can't move along
G B7 C D7
or
Riff *2
[Chorus]
Em F#dim7
Let's skip ahead some years
G G#dim7
The dust has settled and the smoke has cleared
Am G
And all is well and fine
Em F#dim7
There's no thunder or lightning
G G#dim7
The water's warm and the fish are biting
Am Bbdim7 B7
There's no bumps in the road that I can see
D7 G
Smooth sailing on the sea
