Verse 1:

G F
Isn't it about time, you faced up to the facts,
C G
That you and me are heading for the axe?
G F
Isn't it about time, we cut the safety net,
C G
And said goodbye to the bitterness and regret?
Chorus:
E|-------|
Em G
A gulf has opened up between us,
Em
You have to face the facts,
Am Am7
the tyre's burst, you can't go back,

We've used it up, there is no slack.

G F
Isn't it about time, we went our separate ways,

And said that this old dog has had it's day??

Isn't it about time, we brought the curtain down,
C G
On all the sad old dead-ends that we've found?
Chorus:
E|-------|

Vocal fade-out:

Isn't it about time (isn't it about time) etc
Sung over the G - F - C - G chord sequence.
E|--------|-----------------------------------------------
So what about that C/D7/D2? Is it just a C, and the
bass line is confusing me? Not difficult...
E|--------|-----------------------------------------------
PS The underlying riff throughout most of the song is very
reminiscent of the "Start" (The Jam) and "Taxman" (The Beatles)
bass lines...
