Tomorrows Just Too Late

Text File

 G                   D
you drag your tiger�s paw across
     C/G               Gadd9*
your chapped & cracking lips,
      Em
and open up a crimson slur
     C/G                   G+
you spread each time you kiss.

     Am                   Em
the broken boy you bargain with
     C/G      D         Gadd9
to turn back to the man
            Am
that you fell in love with once
             C/G
but never saw again.
       G       C/G          D                  Em
is he in there? do you think he drowned to death?
       A7                  C/G             Gadd9    D
well it's his decision to show his face again.


    G                 D
you grind your tired teeth
            C/G                 Gadd9*
& curse the day that you were born
     Em                          C/G               G+
to a sunken line of Irish wives a million miles long,


  Am             Em               C/G       D      Gadd9
devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve.
               Am
a husband�s a cross to bear,
                  C/G
worry lines & a silver string of hair

        G      C/G             D               Em
come too early, come to steal your sainted youth

   A7                    C/G                   G     D
well it's your decision to stay or else to move.

        C/G                     G
& I'm not a man of faith, no gospel oak for me,
        C/G                     G               D
but you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs,
        Am       Am/B                                Em  D   C
and the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go.
                         Am
so you've got a choice to make:
                  C/G
shut him out, save yourself, or sit and wait.
           G    C/G            G      D     Em
but you're waiting on a man who will not move.
        A7                C/G                     G
so you must move for him and do what he can't do.
(mute)     G   C/G              C/G       D          Em
cause it�s worth it, that�s the one life you can change,
          A7                   C/G             G
and I'm sorry sister, but it has to end this way.
           A7                   C/G               G
yea, it�s scary sister, but tomorrow�s just too late.
(Single strums)
     A7
so stand up sister,
          C               G
there�s an albatross to shake.


Kevin includes various licks, strange chords and transitions, a few of which I have
