Bb   Cm         Bb      Cm           Bb     Gm            Fm Fm7

We used to say  that, come the day,  we'd all be making songs

G#           Eb           G#            Eb           Bb

Or finding better words.  These ideas never lasted long.

Cm       Bb Cm            Bb    Gm             Fm Fm7

The way is up  along the road.  The air is growing thin.

G#         Eb               Bb               Eb                Bb

Too many friends who tried  blown off this mountain with the wind.

(Short bridge in F major, with guitar figure in descending parallel sixths)

Bb                             Fm

Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.

G#               Eb

When the time is up I'm gonna see all my friends.

Bb                             Fm

Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.

G#            Eb

If you really mean it, it all comes round again.

Bb Cm       Bb    Cm        Bb               Gm          Fm Fm7

Now I see  I'm all alone.  But that's the only way to be.

G#                  Eb           G#             Eb              Bb

You'll have your chance again;  then you can do the work for me.

Meet on...etc.

Between the chorus and the next verse is a guitar figure backed by the piano playing in F:

|-----13-----------11----------10---------8| |------------------------------------------| |12/14--------10/12--------8/10--------6/8-| |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------|

Which resolves to Bb at the start of the verse.
