Dm F Bb
Under some dirty words on a dirty wall
C F Bb
Eating takeout by myself
Gm C
I played the shows
Gm C Bb
Got back in the van and put the Walkman on
And you were playing
Dm F Bb
In some other dive a thousand miles away
C F Bb
I played a thousand times before
Gm C Gm C Bb
And like pathetic stars, the truck stops and the rock club walls
I always knew
You saw them too
F C
But you never will again
Gm Bb
It's too late
F C Bb
Don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
Elliott, man, you played a fine guitar
And some dirty basketball
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
But it's too late
It's too late
No, don't you know
it's been too late
for a long time
Gm C
Oh no
F Bb
Things were looking up
Least that's what I heard
Gm C
Oh no
F Bb
Someone came and washed away your hard-earned
A Dm
Peace of mind
(Bridge)
Csus C Bb Am Gm Am Bb Csus C
When desperate static beats the silence up
A quiet truth to calm you down
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
But it's too late
It's too late
No, don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
It's too late
It's too late
No, don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
