E     A                F#m
Never thought we'd ever end.
E         A                 F#m
I can't afford to lose more friends.
E      A                 F#m
Not to have you close at hand
E      A                F#m
Wasn't quite what I had planned.


           E
(It's that time)
           A
Is it that time?
  F#m              A
A moment that will pass
                E
(Yes, it's that time)
           A
Is it that time?
   F#m              A
We knew it couldn't last.


E        A                 F#m
I'm just trying to catch my breath.
E            A              F#m
A heart that beats itself to death,
E      A             F#m
Panic stricken by the thought
E          A          F#m
You're not here for my support.


              E
(But its that time)
           A
Is it that time?
  F#m            A
A curtain has to fall.
                E
(Yes, it's that time)
           A
Is it that time?
    F#m              A
The writing's on the wall.
                E
(You're in your prime )
               A
You're in your prime now, darling,
F#m                     A
And that's the worst of all.
               E       A    F#m
It's just that time.

[riff 1]

Night must fall.

I'm so lonely.

I'm so sorry.


E      A         F#m
Can we ever justify
E       A               F#m
Letting sleeping hatred lie?
E      A                F#m
In the trenches hand-to-hand
E      A            F#m
Is the measure of a man.

Am I a man?


           E
(It's that time)
           A
Is it that time?
    F#m               A
The light has almost gone.
                E
(Yes, it's that time)
           A
Is it that time?
    F#m            A
The carnival moves on.
               E
You're in your prime
                A
(You're in your prime now, darling)
F#m                  A
And you did nothing wrong,
               E     A   F#m
It's just that time.

Night has come.
