the above tab sequence repeats for the verse

D
One more time he says good night
D
Turns out the door and off the light, cursing low
G                       D
As if she didn't know
D
One more time he'd comfort her
D
As if a word could break through her--she's so quiet
G                       D
And he's so sick of it

[chorus]
Just arpeggiate these chords as you wish

D   Em        G               D
Too long  Too late this time
D   Em        G           D
Too far   Too great in my mind

[verse]
D
One more time a runaround
D
Nothing meant by anyone--fine with them
G                 D
Such a quiet din
D
Says he wants to leave a while
D
She just sits and tries to smile--that's okay
G                    D
It was boring anyway

[chorus]
D   Em        G             D
Too long  Too late this time
D   Em        G           D     G
Too far   Too great in my mind

[verse]
D
Says she need a worshipper
D
Someone who'll do anything at all
G                         D
for her--wishful thinker
D
He don't need this schizo bull
D
Each one misses by so far, they don't see it
G                          D
come.  But who ever does?
