Intro: ( Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em )
Em C/E D/E
Somewhere in the distance, I hear the bells ring
G/E D/E C/E Em
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
Em C/E D/E
And the lady 'cross the street, she shuts out the night
G/E D/E C/E Em
There's a cast of thousands waiting, as she turns out the light
Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em
But it's too late, too late, too late, too late for love
Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em
Too late, too late, too late, too late
Em C/E D/E
London boys are gazing, as the girls go hand in hand
G/E D/E C/E Em
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
Em C/E D/E
And the queen of the dream, stands before them all
G/E D/E C/E Em
She stretches out her hand, as the curtains start to fall
Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em
But it's too late, too late, too late, too late for love
Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em
Too late, too late, too late, too late

Standing by the trapdoor, aware of me and you
G/E D/E C/E Em
The actor and the clown, they're waiting for their cue
Em C/E D/E
And there's a lady over there, she's acting pretty cool
G/E D/E C/E Em
But when it comes to playing life she always plays the fool
Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em
But it's too late, too late, too late, too late for love

Em C/E D/E G/E D/E C/E Em
Too late, too late, too late, too late
