 Amaj7
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
 Amaj7/F#              Dmaj7
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
   Amaj7
I hear myself say
Amaj7/F#
My boat's leaving now
    Dmaj7
So we shake hands and cry

Chorus:
           F#m7
Now I must wave goodbye
 E             Dmaj7
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
 E             Dmaj7
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

We leave to their goodbyes
I've come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood's sweet for pain
The wind and the rain brings back words of a song

Chorus:
And they sing wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, wave goodbye

You know I don't want to cry again
I'll never see your face again
I don't want to cry again

So I read to myself
A chance of a lifetime to see new horizons
On the front page a black and white picture of
Manhattan Skyline
