Capo 2 
  
D5                  C5 
The time has come, there is no second chance 
D5                         C5 
We've been drifting on an empty aching sea 
D5                   C5  
You were the girl I never knew I wanted 
D5                 C5             
I was the boy you hoped you'd never see 
 

           G5    C5         
And it's a shame that we ain't lovers 
G5                           C5 
We could have been somethin' so big and grand 
G5                           C5 
Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia 
G5                    C5 
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
