  |A       Aadd9     |A         Aadd9  
   Say goodbye to the brilliant blues
  |A       Aadd9     |A         Aadd9  
   Say goodbye to the brilliant blues
         |F#m7  F#m7sus4 |F#m7  F#m7sus4 |F#m7  F#m7sus4 |G    C
  Say goodbye
  
      |A  Aadd9     |A     Aadd9  
  It's time 
    |A    Aadd9  |A    Aadd9|
  To live
    |F#m7   F#m7sus4 |F#m7 F#m7sus4
  So make me 
  |F#m7   F#m7sus4 |F#m7 F#m7sus4
   Take me

  It's time 
    |A    Aadd9     |A         Aadd9  
  To give
            |F#m7   F#m7sus4 |F#m7 F#m7sus4
  So don't betray me
  |F#m7   F#m7sus4 |G    C    
   Pay me
  
     |A                     |D          E      |A
  The brilliant blues, don't want to be frozen
                               |D          E
  I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe
      |A                    |D             E       |A
  I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions
                        |D       E      
  I know that now is the time to say
  
  It's time (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  To teach (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  So tell me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  Come on and tell me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  
  It's time (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  To preach (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  So help me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  Come on and help me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  
  The brilliant blues will never flow this way again
  The colour of the Mersey is grey
  The brilliant blues have faded into sadness and pain
  And now is the time to say, it's time
  
  |F#m                    |             |                         |
   You and me are going to finally sail away
                                      (We'll get far away from the blues 
  and the mist and the...
  |D                      |                        |                      
   You and me are going to fight until we reach the day
   rain)                                       (For now is the time that we 
  |G            C    
   must say goodbye to)
  
  The brilliant blues
  I don't want to be frozen
  I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe
  I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions
  I know that now is the time to say
  
  It's time (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  To trust (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  So buy me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  Come on and try me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  
  It's time (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  To thrust (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  So guide me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  Stay beside me (say goodbye to the brilliant blues)
  
  The brilliant blues will never flow this way again
  The colour of the Mersey is grey
  The brilliant blues have faded into sadness and pain
                |D D    |E E     |A
  And now is the time to say it's time
