Recorded by Billy Joel
Album: Single (2024)
(Non Capo)
(Intro.)
None
(Verse 1)
(C)Please open the (F)door
Nothing is (G)different, we've been here be-(Em)fore
Pacing these (Am)halls
Trying to (D/F#)talk over the (G)silence (F) (Em)
And (C)pride sticks out its (F)tongue
Laughs at the (G)portrait that we've be-(E)come
Stuck in a (Am)frame, unable to (D/F#)change
I was (G)wrong (F) (Em)
(Chorus)
I'm (C)late, but I'm (F)here right (G)now
Though I (Em)used to (G)be ro-(Am)mantic
I for-(D/F#)got some-(G)how
Time can (F)make (G)you blind (C)
But I (F)see you (G)now
As we're (E)laying in (E/G#) the dark-(Am)ness
Did I (D/F#)wait too (G)long
To turn the (F)lights (G) back on? |(C) / (F) / |(G/D) / (F)(Em)|
(Verse 2)
(C)Herе, stuck on a (F)hill
Outsiders (G)inside the homе that we (Em)built
The (G#)cold settles (Am)in
It’s been a long (D/F#)winter of (G)different (F)
(Em)And maybe you (C)love me, maybe you (F)don't
Maybe you'll (G)learn to, maybe you (E)won’t
You've had e-(Am)nough, but I won't give (D/F#)up
On (G)you (F) (Em)
(Chorus)
I'm (C)late, but I'm (F)here right (G)now
And I'm (Em)tryin' to find (G) the (Am)magic
That we (D/F#)lost some-(G)how
Maybe (F)I (G) was blind (C)
But I (F)see you (G)now
As we're (E)laying (C/G#)in the (Am)darkness
Did I (D/F#)wait too long (G)
To turn the (F)lights (G)back on?
(Solo)
|(Am) / (Dm) / |(G) / (C) / |(F)(Am)(C)(B/G)|(F)(Am) / (G) / |
(Chorus)
I'm (C)late, but I'm (F)here right now (G)
Is there (Em)still time (G)for forgiveness? (C)
Won't you (D/F#)tell me how? (G)
(F) I can't (G)read your (C)mind
But I (F)see you now (G)
As we're (Em)layin' (C/G#) in the dark-(Am)ness
Did I (D/F#)wait too long (G)
To turn the (F)lights (G) back on? (C)
(Outro.)
(F) I'm here right (G)now
(E) Yes, I'm (C/G#)here right (Am)now
(D/F#) Looking for for-(G)giveness
(F) (G) I can (C)see as we're (F)laying in the (G)darkness
Yeah, as we're (Em)laying in (C/G#) the dark-(Am)ness
Did I (D/F#)wait too long (G)
To (F)turn the (G)lights back (C)on? - - - - -
