E     A                B7(9)  B7
Never thought we'd ever end.
E         A                 B7(9)  B7
I can't afford to lose more friends.
E      A                 B7(9)  B7
Not to have you close at hand
E      A                B7(9)  B7
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                 B7(9)  B7
I'm just trying to catch my breath.
E            A              B7(9)  B7
A heart that beats itself to death,
E      A             B7(9)  B7
Panic stricken by the thought
E          A          B7(9)  B7
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 B7(9)  B7
It's just that time.

[F#m B7(9)  B7]
Night must fall.
I'm so lonely.
I'm so sorry.

E      A         B7(9)  B7
Can we ever justify
E       A               B7(9)  B7
Letting sleeping hatred lie?
E      A                B7(9)  B7
In the trenches hand-to-hand
E      A            B7(9)  B7
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 B7(9)  B7
It's just that time.

[F#m B7(9)  B7]
Night has come.
