[Verse 1] 

G          D               Am       C

Come back now, even if you call me out

             G      D                   Am   C

You might be angry now of course you are

G           D                          Am      C

I'm scared too, didn't mean to take it out on you

          G      D                              Am      C

I know I always do, you're the strongest person in the room

* *

[Pre-Chorus]

 Em         Bm   C             G/B        D/A

Turn back time, help me to rewind and we can

Em       Bm      D     D7/C

Find ourselves again

* *

[Chorus]

               G

It's not too late

  G7    C              B7               Em

Either way, I lose you in these silent days

          G

It wasn't right

           D     D7/C G

But it was right on   time
[Verse 2]

G           D

Don't look down

                        Am            C

I can feel it when your heart starts pounding

        G            D                  Am   C

It's beyond your control, you know it is

     G                          D               Em

It's getting to the point where I can't carry on

                C

I never held my breath for quite this

    G                       D                   Em  Cmaj7

And I don't take it back, I did what I had to do   (long)

* * *

[Chorus]

     C        G

It's not too late

G7      C              B7               Em
