Intro
Verse
Say goodnight, your song is through
Faint refrain we hardly knew
Comes crashin' against the drunken waters of this wake
When I hesitate
Because all I can say is "too much, too little, too late"
Farewell, you fool
Spare me the punch line please
I learned it well at Sunday school
Way back when all you loved was the grease paint, not the collection plate
So much for the funny face
Because all I can say is "too much, too little, too late"
Remember when murder was only killing time
And an axe to grind (to grind, it was) was a bitter gulp of strychnine?
What happened to the musketeers of Chesterfields?
Tobacco swords behind smoky shields
| G# | | F# | | G# | F# | F | E | D#| |
Say goodnight (goodnight)
Old song (so long)
You're through (set the needle back and hum a new tune)
Faint refrain (refrain)
Make room (so soon, so soon)
For new (until the hook can pull the bridge into view)
Spare me the vague, not-so-clever couplets
The ones I would have loved when I was you
'Cause now all I can say is "too much, too little ..."
And all I can feel, feels like the heaviest weight
B E F# Gdim G#m F# | C#7 | D |
'Cause all I can say is "too much, too little, too late"
