Now That Its Too Late Maria

Intro:

E    A    B  A  E
E    A    B  A  E

E                        A       
The flicker of the candle looks 
           B   A         E        
like a one way conversation
 E    A    B  A  E

E                       A      B
Reacting to something nobody 
       A  E     E
else could see
     B                             
While I sit at the table and relive
             C#m
 the whole situation
     B                             
Until the valet who wants to go 
                            E     
home comes in and gives me my keys
A    B

A                              
And tonight every single star is 
     E
shining
A                               B
The power lines all sizzle and buzz
                  A    B     G#m
And now that it's too late, maria
         B                E
I see it all for what it was


E    A    B  A  E
E    A    B  A  E

E                        A 
There's nothing sadder than a 
                     B   A        
streetlight shining on a stretch 
               E         E    A   
of empty sidewalk
 B  A  E

E                        A   
Or maybe the fog that I've been 
                   B   A          
living in has lifted for the first
             E         E
 time in weeks

      B                          
Every day has been a step forward 
                         C#m
perfecting the art of the small talk
   B                               
So I never have to say something I 
          E     A    B
really mean
     A                           
But I remember all of those final 
        E
words you told me
A                               B
How I was green enough to be blue
                  A    B     G#m
But now that it's too late Maria
         B                E
I can see how that was true


E                        A       
Now When I am in your city I come
               B   A          
 across the company you've been 
         E         E    A    B  A  E
keeping
E                        A       
They all hit it off so well with 
               B   A              
some infamous ghost of my past
     E

      B                            
It's hard to imagine what you could
                  C#m
 have possibly told them
   B                               
Some wonder how I'm doing but most 
          E     A    B
don't even ask
     A                          
But now every single door stands 
   E
open
A                           B
I even signed some autographs
                  A    B     G#m
And now that it's too late, Maria
         B                E
We can both look back and laugh

(solo)

E                        A       
There's always more to say but 
               B   A           E 
I'm just skipping to the ending
        E    A    B  A  E

E                        A       
When you move back to Texas and I
               B   A              
 meet a girl who wants to change 
     E
her name
      B                          
When we both start to forgert the 
                    C#m
problems that were never worth 
having
   B                        
And everybody goes on living 
                       E     A    B
watching nothing really change
     A                             
There will always be a part of you 
E
thats with me
A                           B
And sure as hell had better feel the
 same
                  A    B     G#m
and now that it's too late Maria
         B                E
There is no one here to blame
