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 

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
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
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
