[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             
When I come home, it'll all be 
  G
fine

G
But it's the way it goes and ain't 
it so
B7
The fastest one to let it go
       C                D7        
Always out of sight and out of 
       G
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          
And the tears come hard like the 
     G
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             
Cause if I did, I'd have to again 
  G
and again and again


Continues after the ad
[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      
Of taking flight alone without a 
      B7
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             
And I do believe it won't soon be 
  G
letting go

G
So bid farewell to the ones you knew
B7
Like a drunk old sinner born a-new
     C             D7             
And say hello to the sweeping 
  G
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                           
And though I really can't believe 
     Am
the things that I have seen
     D7                            
It puts my feet back on the ground 
        G
where yours probably should have 
been
      C                        
All along, throughout the song, 
   C#7                             
three Manhattans and we can't move 
  B7     D7         G
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          
There's no bumps in the road that I
B7
 can see
  D7                    G
Smooth sailing on the sea
