Say goodbye to the brilliant blues [F#m] Say goodbye
It's [G]
[C] [G] [A] time to live

So [F#m] don't betray me, pay me
[G]
[C] [G] [A] The brilliant blues, [D] don't wanna [E] be frozen
[A] I spend my mornings [D] at the Sunshine [E] Cafe
[A] I pretend, [D] that [E] clicker ain't no [A] chance
I wanna [D] know if it's time, [E] to say [A] it's time
Say goodbye to the brilliant blues To teach
Say goodbye to the brilliant blues
[F#m] So tell me
Say goodbye to the brilliant blues
Come on and tell me
[A] It's time To preach
[F#m] So help me
Come on and help [G] me
[C] [Bm] [A] The brilliant blues, [D] won't ever [E] fall this [A] way again
The color [D] of mercy [E] is fading
[A] The brilliant blues, [D] are faded into [E] sadness and [A] pain
Now is [D] the time [E] to take [A] this time
You [F#] and me, [F#m] say goodbye
You and [D] me are gonna fight until we reach the sun
And we're gonna [G] [C]
say goodbye [A] to the pretty blues
[D] I don't wanna [E] be broken
[A] I spend my mornings [D] at this sunshine [E] cafe
[A] I read the news, [D] the clicker [E] in her [A] shoes
But [D] now's the time, [E] so [A] it's time To drop
[F#m] So by me
Come on and try me [E] [A] It's time To drop
[F#m] So guide me
My new friend, stay beside [G] me

The [D] color of the mercy [E] you spread
[A] The brilliant [D] blues have faded [E] into sadness [A] and pain
Now is the [D] time [E] to say [A] it's time
