Oh...

VERSE 1
C           Em               Am               F          C
It won't be long before your train arrives at rainy Waterloo.
            Em                   Am
It won't be long before you're leaving-
        F      C
You're leaving.
                Em
And I'm jealous of your shoes, 
     Am                   F          C     
they take you step by step away from me.
            Em                Am
I'm jealous of this railway station-
                  F
Does that make me crazy?

PRECHORUS 1
                Em
And my worn out love-
         F                      Em       Am
Like the worn out strings on my favorite guitar.
        F          Em               F      C
And I'm all out of words to make it better. 

CHORUS
                      Em                     Am
There'll be no one to fight with now, you're leaving-
             F       C
No one to believe in.
                      Em               Am
There'll be no one to dry your eyes at midnight,
                    F
On the doorsteps of London.
        C
No more tender goodbyes,
        Em
No more wrong; no more right.
        Am                    F                C
No more falling asleep to the sweetest lullaby.
                    Em  Am
La la la, la la la, la-
                    F
La la la, la la la, la.

C Em Am F

VERSE 2
C           Em                 Am            F                 C
I'm jealous of that dress that kisses you in places they don't see.
            Em                  Am        F   C
I'm jealous of the plane you're boarding, mmm.
         Em                 Am                F                 C
And I despise the view from way up there that leaves me down below.
           Em                 Am                       F
I can't believe you're really leaving - Are you really leaving?

PRECHORUS 2
                Em
All my worn out love-
         C      F          Em   Am
Like a worn out song on an old 45.
           F          Em               F      C
'Cause I'm all out of words to make it better.

CHORUS
                      Em                     Am
There'll be no one to fight with now, you're leaving-
             F       C
No one to believe in.
                      Em               Am
There'll be no one to dry your eyes at midnight,
                    F
On the doorsteps of London.
        C
No more tender goodbyes,
        Em
No more wrong; no more right.
        Am                    F                C
No more falling asleep to the sweetest lullaby.
                    Em  Am
La la la, la la la, la-
                    F          C
La la la, la la la, la, singing-
                    Em
La la la, la la la, la.
Am                  F   Am
La la la, la la la, la.

BRIDGE
            G             Em
I'm jealous of the sun in distant harbors,
       F                Am
'Cause it will wake you first.
            G                  F
I'm jealous of the road you're walking on-
    G                  C      Em  Am  
The road that takes me from you, oh...

F C Em Am F 

VERSE 1
C           Em               Am               F          C
It won't be long before her train arrives at rainy Waterloo.
            Em                Am       F    C
It won't be long before she's leaving, oh...

CHORUS
                      Em                     Am
There'll be no one to fight with now, you're leaving-

No one to believe in.
                      Em               Am
There'll be no one to dry your eyes at midnight,
                    F
On the doorsteps of London.

No more tender goodbyes,

No more wrong; no more right.

La la la, la la la, la-

La la la, la la la, la, singing-
                    Em
La la la, la la la, la.
Am                  F   
La la la, la la la, la.
