where some one’s (C)last good (Bb)bye

blends in with (Gm11)some one’s sigh

’cause some one’s (C)com ing (Bb)home,

And that’s the way

and (C5)live (F)like

And if you (Bbsus2)nev er stop when you wave good bye, you (Gm11)just might find if you give it time you will (Bbsus2)wave hel lo a gain.

You just might wave hel lo a gain.

And that’s the way
