[Intro]
F
F
We sit and watch umbrelas fly,
Dm                    Bbmaj7
I'm trying to keep my Newspaper dry.
  F                   Dm                       Bbmaj7
I hear myself say "My boats leaving now" so we shake hands and cry
C/E        Dm             F              Dm
Now I must wave good-bye, wave good-bye, wave good-bye,
F              Bb
wave good-bye, wave good-bye,
G                       Dm
wave good-bye. You know
                 F         Bb   C             Gm       Dm
I don't wan't to cry again.   I don't want to cry again.
                F            Bb  C             G        Dm
I don't want to say good-bye,  I don't want to cry again,
                 F        Bb
I don't want to run away,
  C             Gm            Dm                     F          Bb     C
I don't want to race this pain,  I'll never see your face again.
Gm     Dm  F Gm             C      A/C#      Dm
Oh but how,  how can you say  that I  didn't try,
Gm       Dm   F       Gm               C
You see things in the depths of my eyes
A/C#              Dm    Gm
That my love's run dry, no
F
We leave to their goodbyes
     Dm                    Bbmaj7
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
   F
My blood's sweet for pain
     Dm                         Bbmaj7
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
C/E          Dm
And they say wave goodbye
F             Dm
Wave goodbye,wave good-bye,
F              Bb
wave good-bye, wave good-bye,
G
wave good-bye.
            Dm
But you know
                F          Bb C             Gm            Dm
I don't want to fall again    Don't want to know this pain
           F             Bb C             Gm        Dm
Don't want another friend   Don't want to try again
              F           Bb C            Gm          Dm
Don't want to see you hurt   Don't let me see you hurt
                F        Bb      C              Gm        Dm
I don't want to cry again   I'll never see your face again
F Bb C Gm
            Dm  F      Gm        C
How can you say  that I  didn't try,
A/C#       Dm
You know I did
Gm       Dm    F       Gm           C
You see things  in the depths of my eyes
A/C#              Dm
That my love's run dry
   C             G       F
I don't want to cry again
F
So I read to myself
   Dm                     Bbmaj7
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
F                  Dm
On the front page a black and white picture of
Bbmaj7             F
