Chorded by gwiz665 (@gmail.com), music&lyrics by Ben Folds

Dm         F                 BbUnder some dirty words on a dirty wall
C       F         BbEating takeout by myself
Gm           CI played the shows
Gm              C               Bb         Got back in the van and put the Walkman on
    Bbsus2            CAnd you were playing

Dm             F              BbIn some other dive a thousand miles away
C          F              BbI played a thousand times before
Gm          C                 Gm                  CAnd like pathetic stars, the truck stops and the rock club walls
   BbI always knew
    Bbsus2You saw them too
                   F     CBut you never will again

         Gm   (Bb  C)It's too late
          FDon't you know
              CIt's been too late
       Bb         CFor a long time

Dm        F                BbElliott, man, you played a fine guitar
C        F           BbAnd some dirty basketball
Gm            CThe songs you wrote
Gm               CGot me through a lot
           Bb            Bbsus2Just wanna tell you that

             F         CBut it's too late
         Gm   (Bb C)It's too late
              FNo, don't you know
              Cit's been too late
      Bbfor a long time
Gm COh no
F            F/e    DmThings were looking up
      C           Bb   (b a run)Least that's what I heard
Gm COh no
F       F/e      Dm      C        BbSomeone came and washed away your hard-earned
A        DmPeace of mind

-- solo --

Dm             F                BbWhen desperate static beats the silence up
C       F                 BbA quiet truth to calm you down
Gm            CThe songs you wrote
Gm               CGot me through a lot
                Bb        Bbsus2Just wanna tell you that

             F     CBut it's too late
         Gm     (Bb C)It's too late
              FNo, don't you know
              Cit's been too late
      Bbfor a long time
         F     CIt's too late
         Gm    (Bb C)It's too late
              FNo, don't you know
              CIt's been too late
           Bb     Bbsus2For a long time
