verse 1 

Bb   Dm         Gm 
Last night, the constellations 
Bb         Dm                Gm 
Watched me walk at half past twelve 
Bb                         Dm            Gm 
With some people you don't see the whole picture all at once 
C                                      F                     Gm 
Like you fill in the gaps in the stars all by yourself 

Bb           Dm                   Gm 
And who has time in this world of worries? 
Bb         Dm               Gm 
Drives you crazy, makes you mad 
Bb                Dm             Gm 
When you make the mistake just a little too late 
C                                     F                 Gm 
You're missing something now that you never knew you had 

Gm           D7 
So, how do I answer 
Gm                       C 
These blues you say I've got? 
Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
Too soon gone, too soon gone 
Gm            Dm            Gm            C 
Time makes me pay for these memories I've bought 
Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
Too soon gone, too soon gone 

Bridge 

Eb   F#      Bb       Eb     Dm     Gm 
No one lives forever who would want to? 
            Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
But you're too soon gone, too soon gone 
Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
Too soon gone, too soon gone 

verse 2 

Bb           Dm              Gm 
Pretty soon, now all this ice will melt 
Bb           Dm              Gm 
And buds will get ready to break 
Bb                  Dm                             Gm 
But every leaf that grows in the language that it knows 
C                                          F                 Gm 
Says that winter will return now and these trees are gonna shake 

Gm           D7 
So, how do I answer 
Gm                       C 
These blues you say I've got? 
Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
Too soon gone, too soon gone 
Gm                     Dm            Cm 
Time sweeps me forward as memory is caught 
Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
Too soon gone, too soon gone 
Bb       Gm    Eb       Bb 
Too soon gone, too soon gone
