Capo 2 
  
D                  C 
The time has come, there is no second chance 
D                         C 
We've been drifting on an empty aching sea 
D                   C  
You were the girl I never knew I wanted 
D                 C             
I was the boy you hoped you'd never see 
 

           G    C         
And it's a shame that we ain't lovers 
G                           C 
We could have been somethin' so big and grand 
G                           C 
Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia 
G                    C 
Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand  
 
  
Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight 
Just dreamin' of ways I could hold you next to me 
But maybe it just wasn't meant, all things have a reason 
Maybe our hearts were just to careless and free 
  
Chorus 
  
There was a time, when you would have had me 
There was a time I could have had you 
But it's too late, another path has come and gone again 
I'm at the back door with a broken window view thinkin' 
  
Chorus 
  
I'm tired of writin' but I can't put down my pen 
It's too late now to talk or turn back 
So just hold on, cause baby here we go again 
Headin' the wrong way down that one way track 
  
Chorus
