[Verse 1]
G#m         C#m
I read your funny note
G#m               C#m
While sitting on a plane
G#m        C#m
It felt so good to know
A            B
I was coming home

G#m           C#m
The bills were all piled up
G#m        C#m
When I got to my door
G#m        C#m
You know I wanted more
A                   B
The love that I had known


[Pre-Chorus]
A             A              E
Fate has it's own strange design
A              A             B
Time took what once had been mine


[Chorus]
B               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A           C#m          C#m         A
You broke a promise when you couldn' wait
B               E     E
I came back too late


[Verse 2]
G#m            C#m
You think love being blind
G#m     C#m
Excuses everything
G#m        C#m
And broken words are just
    A             B
The old discarded truth

G#m         C#m
Regrets are all I've got
G#m       C#m
I guess I always will
G#m           C#m
But you won't know until
     A            B
It's happening to you


[Pre-Chorus]
A           A          E
Pictures we took of ourselves
A          A         B
Now gather dust on a shelf


[Chorus]
B               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A           C#m          C#m         A
You broke a promise when you couldn' wait
B               E     E
I came back too late


[Bridge]
A                   G#m
Making a promise is easy
F#m                    F#m
Coming home won't ever be the same
A                   G#m
Everytime somebody speaks your name
  B
I know it's changed


[Chorus]
B               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A           C#m          C#m         A
You broke a promise when you couldn' wait
A         C#m         C#m        A
But I see now where I made my mistake
B               E     E
I came back too late


[Instrumental]
A B A E A B


[Chorus]
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B
I came back too late
A               E     A   B   E
I came back too late
