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