Late Bloomer Chords by Ron Sexsmith

[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] It's [G] just a stone's throw from here to eternity
_ _ _ [Em] From _ [D] _ _
[G] the back [Em] road to [D] where I long [G] to be
[Em] The _ [D] _ _
[G] world is changed, [Em] leaving only [D] the truth [G] _ intact
[Em] You _ [D] _ _
[G] think it's a game, to me it means more than that
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[Am] _ But I'm a [D] late bloomer, I'm a [C] staller
And [D] I turn the record [Am] over
I'm a [D] lone prayer, my song is [C] my savior
Got [D] to raise [B] it up [Em] as far as [D] my [C] spirit can reach
That [G] everyone might see
_ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[G] Whip and air shout [Em] of rose [D]-colored dreamers [G] at best
_ [Em] _ _ [D] I [G] don't mean to eavesdrop, [Em] it's just part of [D] my job [G] I guess
_ _ _ [D] _
[G] At one glance, [Em] they don't know [D] the truth by [G] the hand
_ _ _ [D] I [G] will now sing your plans, [Em] it's a sure way [D] to hear [G] God laugh
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ Like a [D] crab apple on a tree
[C] They'll find life [D] more bitter [B] than sweet
[Am] _ But I'm a [D] late bloomer, I'm a [C] staller
And [D] I've never had a penny [Am] drop
I'm a [D] song player with a [C] tall order
To [D] come out [B] on top
[Em] And with [D] God [C] telling my soul
That [G] everyone might know
_ _ [D] That I'm a [G] late bloomer
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[C] _ From a [D] turntable to a poem
[C] From a revolution [D] to a [B] _
[Em] ringtone
_ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [D] [C] I'm _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ a [D] late bloomer, I'm a [C] staller
_ And [D] I turn the record [Am] over
I'm a [D] lone prayer, my song is [C] my savior
Got [D] to raise it up, whoa
[Am] _ _ I'm a [D] late bloomer, I'm a [C] staller
And [D] I've never had a penny [Am] drop
_ I'm a [D] song player with a [C] tall order
To [D] come out [B] on top
[Em] And with [D] God [C] telling my soul
That a flower [G] _ _ _ _ grows
[D] And I'm a [G] late bloomer
_ _ I'm [D] _
[G] a late bloomer
_ [Em] _ _ [D] I'm a [G] late bloomer
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
