INTRO

E F     C  E F       C
 Everyday     on my way home

E         F         C
 The clouds would break and the angels
              C(riff1)
  Would sing their refrain
E      F        C(riff1)
 This world's an ungodly place
E       F     C(riff1)
 Strangled by vines unchaste
E       F       G (let ring)
 So with my shining blade of steel
            C(riff1)
 I would cut a path wide


 Dipped in the ink of the fight
 Written clean through the night
 Mark my words upon the front page
 To set my world straight

CHORUS
 First guitar alone : C F Bb D# G C F Bb

      C F       Bb D#   |
 It's too late, it's too late     |  x3
      G C       F Bb   |
 It's too late, it's too late     |

G            Am       C
 Just like I found it, my world is split
 C   C  C  C
 Right down the spine

(Then something easy like the intro)

 Years bled dry now ripe for a reckoning
 My blade's back slash beckoning
 Slice my wounds and I make the sign one more time

 Come on. come on. come home. come home
 Yeah it's too late, it's too late
 It's too late, to refrain...refrain...refrain...
