A5
Well, early this mornin' it dawned on me --- 
                                 E5
The kind of man she needed me to be 
 
She made a list and laid it there beside me - on the bed 
    D5                                               E5
Now what I should a done keeps a-runnin' through my head 
 
CHORUS 

(1-Well), (2-Oh!), (3-But), 
  A5
I shoulda done this and I shoulda done that 

I shoulda been there and she'd never left 
               E5                                  A5
I shoulda been hangin' onto ev'ry word she had to say 

But, it's a little too late, she's a little too gone 

She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong 
          E5                                               A5
Now would be a good time to change, but it's a little too late. 
 
Last night I came home at a quarter to three --- 
And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me 
I thought she'd finally realized not to worry - I'd be home 
And then I realized this mornin' she was gone. 
 
2nd CHORUS 
 
3rd CHORUS 
 
Right now would be the time to change 
But It's a little too late.
