INTRO
E F C E F C
Everyday on my way home
E F C
The clouds would break and the angels
C(riff1)
Would sing their refrain
E F C(riff1)
This world's an ungodly place
E F C(riff1)
Strangled by vines unchaste
E F G (let ring)
So with my shining blade of steel
C(riff1)
I would cut a path wide
Dipped in the ink of the fight
Written clean through the night
Mark my words upon the front page
To set my world straight
CHORUS
First guitar alone : C F Bb D# G C F Bb
C F Bb D# |
It's too late, it's too late | x3
G C F Bb |
It's too late, it's too late |
G Am C
Just like I found it, my world is split
C C C C
Right down the spine
(Then something easy like the intro)
Years bled dry now ripe for a reckoning
My blade's back slash beckoning
Slice my wounds and I make the sign one more time
Come on. come on. come home. come home
Yeah it's too late, it's too late
It's too late, to refrain...refrain...refrain...
Did those angels ever sing?
