[Verse 1]
F
There’s a time,
          Dm       Bbmaj7 Bb
There’s a time for living
       F              Dm           Bbmaj7 Bb
Like a mother hearing baby’s first cry
F
There’s a time,
          Dm       Bbmaj7 Bb
There’s a time for dying
     F               Dm           Bbmaj7  Bb
Like family gathered round by the bedside


[Chorus]
F        G7    Bbmaj7
 The time goes by
F        G7   Bbmaj7 Bbm
 We blink our eyes
    D#      Bb/D
The love we gave
    Bbm     C7  F  Gm7
The love we lost
    F/C      |F / Bdim / |Bbmaj7 / / /|
The time goes by


[Interlude]
|F / G7 / |Bbmaj7 / / /|


[Verse 2]
F
There’s a time,
          Dm       Bbmaj7   Bb
There’s a time for grieving
         F                        Dm            Bbmaj7 Bb
Like you just can’t get warm on a cold winter’s night
F
There’s a time,
          Dm       Bbmaj7  Bb
There’s a time for healing
         F              Bb              Bbmaj7
Like the golden hues of morning’s first light


[Chorus]
F        G7    Bbmaj7
 The time goes by
F        Bdim  Bbmaj7 Bbm
 We blink our eyes
    D#      Bb/D
The love we gave
    Bbm     C7   F Gm7
The love we lost
    C7           |Bbm / / /|D#7 / / /|G#maj7 / / /|
The time goes by

 We blink our  eyes

 The time goes by

The love we lost

The time goes by

Will carry on
    C7       |F / Fm7 /|Bbmaj7 / / /|
The time goes by
