Love Too Late Words Brad DeLong, Music Jan Hauenstein

(G) (Bm7/F#) (Em7) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D/F#)
I re(G)gret I wasn’t (C)kinder, as we (G)walked a(C)long life’s (G)way;
I (D)wish I’d been more re(Em)sponsive to (C)what you (G)had to (D)say;
I (G)wish I’d been less dis(Em)tracted by am(Am)bition’s frantic (D)pace;
I (G)wish I’d (D)learned to (Em)love you more and (C)join your (D)peaceful (Em)space. (Em7)

I (C)wish I’d realized (G)long ago how (Am)little (Am7)time there’d (D)be
To re(Em)store the balance (Cj7)of the love you (Em)always gave to (D)me;
(C)Why did I not (G)stop to soothe the (Am)sadness (Am7)in your (D)face
The (Em)many times I left (Cj7)you alone to pur(Em)sue my selfish (D)race? (D6) (D5)

I (G)told you it was for (C)both of us, my res(G)ponse to (C)fortune’s (G)call,
You (D)tried to draw me (Em)back with love, but my (C)focus (G)was so (D)small
That I (G)thought a life of (Em)comfort (Am)was our mutual (D)aim,
But (G)wealth is (D)not con(Em)tentment, (C)they are (D)not the (Em)same.
(D/F#) (Em) (Cj7) (D) (Em) (Cj7) (C) (Cj7) (D)
(G) (Bm7/F#) (Em7) (C) (Cj7) (D) (D/F#) (Em) (Em/B)

I (C)did not feel your (G)essence fade in(Am)to con(Am7)fusion’s (D)space
Un(Em)til I was a(Cj7)lone and you no (Em)longer knew my (D)face.
This (C)new leaf I’ve turned (G)over, with more (Am)time for (Am7)us to (D)share,
Is (Em)worthless now - your (Cj7)empty shell (Em)can no (D)longer (G)care.
(Bm7/F#) (Em) (C) (Cj7) (D) (Em)

Your (Am7)childlike de(D)meanor re(B7)minds me of my (Em)fate:
I (Cj7)robbed you of se(Em)renity (Am)with my love too (D)late;
And I (Em)robbed us of our (Cj7)peace of mind(D)(hold)
(Am)With my (D)love too (G)l(Bm7/F#)a(Em7)t(C)e.(Cj7) (D) (D/F#) (Gj7)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
