[Primera Parte]

Cm
He's always late to the party again
                                     Fm7
Says he's stuck in some kind of time bend

My clock's spinning but he's standing still
Cm                 G
He's got no map no sense of the drill
             Fm
But when he smiles
            Cm
Oh when he tries
               G
It's like the stars align in his eyes

[Estribillo]

Cm
He's always late

He's always late

But my heart's on time

It syncs with fate
            Fm
He's always late

I sit and wait
                    G
But he's the one I love
    Cm
No debate

Cm
He's got that charm like a samba breeze
                                     Fm
Trips on his words but his love's a tease

A Brazilian trumpet plays in my mind
Cm
Every delay somehow feels divine

                 F
When he holds me
                  C
Oh when he's near
                     G
The world slows down
               Cm
It's crystal clear

[Estribillo]

Cm
He's always late

He's always late

But my heart's on time

It syncs with fate

             Fm
He's always late

I sit and wait
                    G7
But he's the one I love
