I stopped (D)in the ol' Tin Angel for a (Em)cold one
You (G)didn't even know that I was (D)there
Yeah, to (D)little to late is such an (Em)old one
I'd be (G)lying if I said I didn't (D)care

(Chorus)
Well I'm (D)sitting here tonight, (Em)looking at my life
Wishing I'd (G)held you tighter when I had the (D)chance
Guess I (D)got what I deserved, truth (Em)is you always were
The (G)prettiest star at the (D)dance

(D)I sat out when I should have (Em)stepped in
(G)Let you drift away across the (D)floor
