B F# B F#
B
He was just a friend of mine
F#
I'd run into from time to time
G#m
Long before he moved away
E B
We used to share a taste for wine
F# E
Still I never knew that he was sad back then
B E F# E B F#
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday

B
And he says it's brilliant there
E
There's something in the air
B
And sunshine everywhere
F#
He's on the beach
B
I know he's changed somehow
E
He sends those postcards now
B
I'm not sure where he is
F#
but he's out of reach

B
When he called me up one day
F#
And said that he was going away
G#m
I thought he meant a week in France
E B
And not twelve thousand miles to Sydney Bay
F# E
Still he had to take his chances
B E F# E B F#
He said the time had come for him to make a move away

B
And he says it's brilliant there
E
There's something in the air
B
And sunshine everywhere
F#
He's on the beach
B
I know he's changed somehow
E
He writes those postcards now
D#
He's on his own again
B
And he's out of reach
D#
(my baby gets it on the beach)

G#m
And I don't blame him
E F# D#
Leaving was the best thing he could do
G#m
He longed for changes
E
I just hope he's happy
F# E C#
When he does the things he thinks he has to do

And he tries, and he tries
E B E F#
Yes he tries but he's a little bit hard on himself
E B E F#
Somehow he's trying to be someone else

B
And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there
E
There's something in the air
B
And sunshine everywhere
B
He's on the beach
B
I know he's changed somehow
E
It's in his postcards now
D#
He's on his own again
F#
So far out of reach

B
And he says it's brilliant there
E
There's something in the air
B
And sunshine everywhere
F#
He's on the beach
B
I know he's changed somehow
E
It's in his postcards now
D#
He's in Australia
F#
So far out of reach
B E B A F# ...
And he says it's brilliant there
