Well, (A) early this morning it dawned on me 
The kind of man she needed me to (E) be 
She made a list and laid it there, beside me on the bed 
Now, what I (D) shoulda done, keeps running through my (E) head 
 
Well, I shoulda done (A) this 
And I shoulda done that 
Shoulda been there 
She'd a never left 
Shoulda been (E) hanging on every word 
She ever had to (A) say 
But, it's a little too late 
She's a little too gone 
She's a little too right 
I'm a little too wrong 
Now, would (E) be a good time to change 
But, it's a little too (A) late 
 
(A    A) (E   A) 
 
Last (A) night I came home at a quarter till three 
And, to my surprise - she wasn't mad at (E) me 
I guess she finally realized, not to worry - I'd be home 
Then I (D) realized this morning, she was (E) gone 
 
Well, I shoulda done (A) this 
And I shoulda done that 
Shoulda been there 
She'd a never left 
Shoulda been (E) hanging on every word 
She ever had to (A) say 
But, it's a little too late 
She's a little too gone 
She's a little too right 
I'm a little too wrong 
Now, would (E) be a good time to change 
But, it's a little too (A) late 
 
Solo 
 
(A     A)   (E     A)   (A      A)  (A      E) 
 
Well, it's a little too (A) late 
She's a little too gone 
She's a little too right 
I'm a little too wrong 
Now, would (E) be a good time to change 
But, it's a little too (A) late 
 
(E) Now would be the time to change 
But, it's a little too (A) late
