(A) Well, early this mornin' 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 (D) what I should a done keeps a-runnin' through my (E) head

CHORUS
(1-Well), (2-Oh!), (3-But),
I (A) shoulda done this and I shoulda done that
I shoulda been there and she'd never left
I shoulda been (E) hangin' onto ev'ry word she 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.

Last night I came home at a quarter to three ---
And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me
I thought she'd finally realized not to worry - I'd be home
And then I realized this mornin' she was gone.

2nd CHORUS

3rd CHORUS

Right now would be the time to change
But It's a little too late.
