And we don't know where-

C                              F
Tom- , get your plane right on time.

C                                   F
I know that you've been eager to fly now-

C                       F      C      Dm    F
Hey- , let your honesty shine, shine, shine now,

Do-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-do- like it shines on me.

The only living boy in New York.
