Twenty Years Late

****CAPO 4th fret***



INtro after the piano intro - G - D




(verse 1)
A                          G                    D
 Hey mom I know that it's late, hope I didn't wake you,
A                  G                     D
 yea everything is ok, I just needed to talk to you,



(pre-cho)
    Bm
So take it I had one of those days,
    E7
But I didn't call to complain,
        Em                    D/F#                   G
Just to say everything that I did for all of those years,



(1st chorus)
           D        Dsus2     Dsus4         D
You were a taxi cab driver, a nurse  and a maid,
     G
A waitress a cook, and a shoulder to lay
     A                                        D-Dsus2-Dsus4-D
My head on to cry on, when nothing was goin my way,
     D         Dsus2            Dsus4    D
You knew every answer without crackin a book,
    G
And I took for granted that I had it so good,
   A
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say,
 G                                      D
Thank you, I love you, Twenty Years Late,



(verse 2)
A                      G                       D
 Funny how time passin by can change your perspective,
A                            G                  D
 A little while out on your own, can sure make you think,



(pre-cho)
Bm                              E7
I don't, know how you did it, no I can't find one spare minute,
     Em                     D/F#                      G
The days run together but I don't ever remember you, ever,

Lettin us down,


(2nd chorus)
               D           Dsus2   Dsus4     D
YOu were the judge and the jury when I did wrong,
       G
You're my biggest fan from my very first song,
     A                                           D-Dsus2-Dsus4-D
The gas and the engine that always kept me movin on,
   D           Dsus2            Dsus4     D
A seamstress a counciler, and the one referee,
      G
that could stop a fight 'tween my brother and me,
   A
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say,
 G                                      D
Thank you, I love you, Twenty Years Late,



(bridge)
Em7                     Bm                     G
I'll let you go now, But I hope you know now, how I feel,
Em                       D/F#
Thank you for makin me the man I've become,
Em                           D/F#
 I love you and I will always be your son,
G                            A
 mom that's all I called to say,
                G - D
Twenty Years Late,
                G - D
Twenty Years Late,
                G - D
Twenty Years Late,
