      Too Late To Say Goodbye- Cage The Elephant


[Intro] after Bass: Em B


[Verse]

Em                           B
Oh my precious ember burning my sweet glowing light
C                               B
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine
Em                              B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C                                 B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire


[Pre-Chorus]

Em    D                   
I was always playing that part
Em         D
first love always at that spot
Em        D                  B
There was no way changing my mind


[Chorus]

Hold B           Em                  C   
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
               D                       B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
           Em                C              
No turning back, no where to run
            D          B 
No where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em                  C            D              B
Push back from my heart, wish we go back to the start
          Em          C            D
But oh my God is this real no more time 
     B              
it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye


[Verse]

Em                              B
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
C                                  B
Forced to watch the ashes floating softly drifting to the ground
Em                              B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C                                 B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire


[Pre-Chorus]

Em    D                   
I was always playing that part
Em         D
first love always at that spot
Em        D                  B
There was no way changing my mind


[Chorus]

Hold B             Em                  C   
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
               D                       B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
           Em                C              
No turning back, no where to run
            D          B 
No where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em                  C            D              B
Push back from my heart, wish we go back to the start
          Em          C            D
But oh my God is this real no more time 
     B              
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye


[Solo]

Em C D B x2


[Bridge]

C             D                B             C
After all the dust has settled we can settle down
C               D          B           C
Just the two of us forever no one else around
B           C      
No one else around
B
around


[Chorus]

Hold B             Em                  C   
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
               D                       B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
           Em                C              
No turning back, no where to run
            D          B 
No where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em                  C            D              B
Push back from my heart, wish we go back to the start
          Em          C            D
But oh my God is this real no more time 
     B              
it's too late, it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
