F GHe was just a friend of mine, I'd run into from time to time
Fm CLong before he moved away, we use to share a drink of wine.
F G CStill I never knew that he was sad that way
F C G C F GHe said the time had come for him to take a holiday
F C
Chorus: And he says its brilliant there, there's something in the air,
F Gand sunshine everywhere. He's on the beach.
F CI know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
F GI'm not sure where he is, but he's out of reach.
F GWhen he called me up one day and said that he was going away,
Fm CI thought he meant a week in France, and not 12,000 miles in Sydney Bay.
F G CStill he had to take his chances.
F C G C F GHe said the time had come for him to make a move away.
F C
Chorus: And he says its brilliant there, there's something in the air,
F Gand sunshine everywhere. He's on the beach.
F CI know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
F GHe's on his own again, and he's out of reach.
Bridge: And I don't blame him. Leaving was the best thing he could do.
He longed for changes, I just hope he's happy,
when he does the things he thinks he has to do.
And he tries, and tries, and tries, but he's lived at home (?)
I think he's trying to be someone else, and he says, he says, he says,
F Cit's really unfair...there's something in the air,
F Gand sunshine everywhere. He's on the beach.
F CI know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
F GHe's in Australia, so far out of reach.
F C F GAnd he says it's pretty(?) there.
F C F G progression to end...
