F            A#
It's time we said goodbye
F        A#
Time now to decide
Gm7      Gm7 Csus4    C
O' don't you feel so small
Gm7          A#       F
Dark is the night for all

It's time we moved out west
This time will be the best
And when your evenings fall
Dark is the night for all

Chorus:
      C       Gm7          F
It's Time yeah, to break free,
      C               Gm7
It's time to pull away
                 A# C
For you and for me

It's time, yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery

It's time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
Oh, don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
