chorded by gwiz665 ( @gmail . com ) , music&lyrics by ben folds

Dm F A#
under some dirty words on a dirty wall
C F A#
eating takeout by myself
Gm C
i played the shows
Gm C A#
got back in the van and put the walkman on
A#sus2 C
and you were playing

Dm F A#
in some other dive a thousand miles away
C F A#
i played a thousand times before
Gm C Gm C
and like pathetic stars , the truck stops and the rock club walls
A#
i always knew
A#sus2
you saw them too
F C
but you never will again

Gm ( A# C )
it’s too late
F
don’t you know
C
it’s been too late
A# C
for a long time

Dm F A#
elliott , man , you played a fine guitar
C F A#
and some dirty basketball
Gm C
the songs you wrote
Gm C
got me through a lot
A# A#sus2
just wanna tell you that

F C
but it’s too late
Gm ( A# C )
it’s too late
F
no , don’t you know
C
it’s been too late
A#
for a long time
Gm C
oh no
F F/E Dm
things were looking up
C A# ( B a run )
least that’s what i heard
Gm C
oh no
F F/E Dm C A#
someone came and washed away your hard – earned
A Dm
peace of mind

– – solo – –

Dm F A#
when desperate static beats the silence up
C F A#
a quiet truth to calm you down
Gm C
the songs you wrote
Gm C
got me through a lot
A# A#sus2
just wanna tell you that

F C
but it’s too late
Gm ( A# C )
it’s too late
F
no , don’t you know
C
it’s been too late
A#
for a long time
F C
it’s too late
Gm ( A# C )
it’s too late
F
no , don’t you know
C
it’s been too late
A# A#sus2
for a long time
