Eastern Standard Time

    C            Am         F    
The waves on the shore take all 
        C
of my being,
Dm       C           F      G   
gray and habitual, resolved and 
   C
serene.
    C           Am         F     
And I'm at your door half-smiling
   C

Dm                C               
All of a man half-waiting for the 
F    G  C
bell to ring.
      A                    C
While all of those waves unwavering
    Bb  C   G
I'm wa--ve-ring

    F        C            F
Goodbye, goodbye, Eastern Standard 
Time
            F
it could be roses in my pockets
      C            G
or be roses on my stone
    F        C
Goodbye, goodbye
       F                  C       Em
In the dark, dark hour of night
            F
I'll be the only one alone
            C
I'll be the only one alone

            G                     C
I'll be the only one alone

   C          Am
It can't be ignored
          F                C
though it can be screened.
   Dm                C
Oh singing out these melodies
     F   G  C
with all I  mean.
      Dm         Am
So surround and adore me,
  Dm         Am
arouse and implore me.
    A                    C
The waves will roll, the waves will 
crash
    Bb        C          G
and what left will there be?
    Bb        C          G
Oh, what left will there be?

    F        C            F
Goodbye, goodbye, Eastern Standard 
Time
            F
it could be roses in my pockets
      C            G
or be roses on my stone
    F        C
Goodbye, goodbye
       F                  C       Em
In the dark, dark hour of night
            F
I'll be the only one alone
            C
I'll be the only one alone
            G
I'll be the only one alone
            F
I'll be the only one alone
            C
I'll be the only one alone
            G
I'll be the only one alone

    Am          C     F
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
    Am          C     Dm
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
    C            Am         F    
The waves on the shore take all 
        C
of my being.
Am              C        F
   Goodbye, goodbye.
