IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE

(M. Chesnutt - "GREATEST HITS")


(A     A)  (E     A)  

Well, (A) early this morning it dawned on me
The kind of man she needed me to (E) be
She made a list and laid it there, beside me on the bed
Now, what I (D) shoulda done, keeps running through my (E) head

Well, I shoulda done (A) this
And I shoulda done that
Shoulda been there
She'd a never left
Shoulda been (E) hanging on every word
She ever had to (A) say
But, it's a little too late
She's a little too gone
She's a little too right
I'm a little too wrong
Now, would (E) be a good time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late

(A    A) (E   A)

Last (A) night I came home at a quarter till three
And, to my surprise - she wasn't mad at (E) me
I guess she finally realized, not to worry - I'd be home
Then I (D) realized this morning, she was (E) gone

Well, I shoulda done (A) this
And I shoulda done that
Shoulda been there
She'd a never left
Shoulda been (E) hanging on every word
She ever had to (A) say
But, it's a little too late
She's a little too gone
She's a little too right
I'm a little too wrong
Now, would (E) be a good time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late

Solo

(A     A)   (E     A)   (A      A)  (A      E)

Well, it's a little too (A) late
She's a little too gone
She's a little too right
I'm a little too wrong
Now, would (E) be a good time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late

(E) Now would be the time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late
