Too Late Too Soon Chords by Will Varley

[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Across that great ocean of time, the memories come sailing. _ _ _
[G] Like the waves on the back of your mind, they slowly [C] start breaking. _ _ _
To the sound of a tune, and the smell of perfume [Fm] in the [C] evening. _ _ _
[G] Where the band used to play, then they'd get up and say [C] they were leaving. _ _ _
And some of those waves, they crash on the cliffs they come beating. _ _ _
[G] In the hour of a storm, when everyone else [C] is still sleeping. _ _ _
Well, I swear I saw you, foot of a wave, like a mountain. _ _ _
[G] I could not tell if you were laughing or if [C] you were drowning. _ _ _
We first met [Em] in that little [F] back room. _
[G] _ _ Too [C] late, too [F] soon.
_ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Too [C] late, too soon. _ _ _
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ I lost my way some time ago, I remember.
_ _ _ [G] Beneath a pile of your dreams, and a letter it seems [C] I could not send her.
_ _ Now to places I go, there's no way to know if you're still wondering.
_ _ If you [G] still wear the same scent, or which song I'm meant to [C] be humming.
In _ the small room above us, two aging lovers wrote poetry. _ _ _
[G] And the sound that they made, shook the whole building [F] so [C] quietly. _ _ _
I never believed I could be so deceived and so blinded. _ _ _
[G] I left a note for myself on the shelf, I hope [C] I never find it. _
Like the frost [Em] when the [C] first flowers bloom. _
[G] _ _ Too [C] late, too [F] [C] soon. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Too late, [C] too soon. _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _
I get older, _ you get younger.
_ _ _ [G]
And it is only so long I can hold off becoming [C] my father. _ _ _
See I tried, I tried, but I lose myself in these delusions. _ _
[G] Till I'm hiding in an unfinished model of my [F] own [C] surrounding. _ _ _
But we'll meet in the middle, sometime we'll share the same standing. _ _
[G] And just for a day it'll feel like [C] nothing is dying. _ _
And we'll scream at the top of our voices, that [F] nothing's worth [C] keeping. _ _
[G] We'll be born as soon as we wake up, and we [F] will die [C] as soon as we're sleeping.
Like the [Em] sunset says [F] to the moon. _
[G] _ _ _ [C] Too late, [F] too soon.
[C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ Too late, too [F] soon.
_ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ Well my head's a war zone, filled with shadows [F] and [C] tyrants. _
_ _ [G] So head back into that ocean towards [F] the horizon.
[C] _
_ _ And you better leave quickly, before the swell's too [F] rough [C] for sailing. _
_ _ [G] And remember that there was nothing here [F] worth [C] saving.
_ _ And I tried to forget you, and tried to prepare for [F] this [Cm] weather.
_ _ _ [G] Because I got a feeling that this storm will be raging [C] forever.
_ _ _ It was late, and the band were packing their things into their van.
_ _ _ [G] And the empty eyed girls at the bar were shouting, [C] finish off as fast as you can.
_ [Em] Suddenly it cut [F] through the [Am] room. _ _
[C] I'm sure [Em] that's the [F] same [Am] perfume.
_ _ All [C] the [Em] things that we'll [C] never do.
_ _ [G] _
_ Too [C] late, too [F] soon.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ Too [C] _ late, too soon. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
