Too Little, Too Late

    G                          G                   Em  Cm
The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love
  G                       G                        Em  Cm
I read in the papers he's someone that girls dream about
             G                G
Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom
           Em                Cm
I'm just a jester, I'll never be him
              G
Last night you called to me
          D
It almost killed me

       G
To hear you scream my name
      G
Your smile still kills the same
  C
I almost turned around
    Cm
You chased me to the ground
    G
You asked me how I've been
    G
But how do I begin
   C
To tell you I should've chased
   Cm
You 'cross every single state?
  G
I lay down my sword for fate
      Cm
'Cause it's too little, way too late

G                    G                     Em  Cm
I didn't need the reminder of things I've done wrong
  G                G                 Em  Cm
Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song
                G                      G
Guess that we're soulmates in different lifetimes
           C                     Cm
What if you leave him? Throw me a lifeline
           G
I know that you're happy
           D
But it just killed me

  G
To hear you scream my name
  G
A clear fucking X-ray
  C
Of if I'd stuck around
  Cm
I swear to God, I almost drowned
    G
You asked me how I've been
   G
But how could I begin
  C
To tell you I should've chased you?
               Cm
I should be who you're engaged to

G
Lost my fight with fate
 Cm
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
 Em
I give in, I abdicate
 G
I lay my sword down anyway
    Em         Em
I'll see you at heaven's gate
      Cm
'Cause it's too little, way too late

    Cm                                G
I'll toast outside your wedding day

Cm
Whisper vows I'll never say to you
      Cm
'Cause it's too little, all too late
