         Fmaj7                    Am7
From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down
       Fmaj7                              Am7
At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was

If it was mine, I should be glad that I still function in this cage

But if it's yours, it only makes me more lost

Above the noise on the quay, their voices rise
               Fmaj7                      Am7
They must have something so strong in the face of such change
              Fmaj7                   Am7    Fmaj7
That they can promise and promise all night

Oh, what you wouldn't give
      Em          F          G     C
To be down on the pier once again
                  Dm7
Far away from the cries
        Em         F      G
Of these war-weary hordes
C                    Dm7
Time up there in the clouds
       Em         F
Must be hard to endure
    Em            Fmaj7 Am7  Fmaj7  Am7
When your heart's unsure___

Verse:
            Fmaj7                          Am7
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave

         Fmaj7                               Am7
I can pretend it's all a dream, and what I'm seeing will disappear
        Fmaj7                   Am7    Fmaj7
But the end I can see is all too real
                      Am7    Fmaj7
Knowing you're taking leave
              G       F        C
Knowing you're taking leave
