A Little Too Late

(A A) (E A)
Well, (A) early this morning it dawned on me
The kind of man she needed me to (E) be
She made a list and laid it there, beside me on the bed
Now, what I (D) shoulda done, keeps running through my (E) head
Well, I shoulda done (A) this
And I shoulda done that
Shoulda been there
She'd a never left
Shoulda been (E) hanging on every word
She ever had to (A) say
But, it's a little too late
She's a little too gone
She's a little too right
I'm a little too wrong
Now, would (E) be a good time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late
(A A) (E A)
Last (A) night I came home at a quarter till three
And, to my surprise - she wasn't mad at (E) me
I guess she finally realized, not to worry - I'd be home
Then I (D) realized this morning, she was (E) gone
Well, I shoulda done (A) this
And I shoulda done that
Shoulda been there
She'd a never left
Shoulda been (E) hanging on every word
She ever had to (A) say
But, it's a little too late
She's a little too gone
She's a little too right
I'm a little too wrong
Now, would (E) be a good time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late
Solo
(A A) (E A) (A A) (A E)
Well, it's a little too (A) late
She's a little too gone
She's a little too right
I'm a little too wrong
Now, would (E) be a good time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late
(E) Now would be the time to change
But, it's a little too (A) late
