[Em]She said

[Verse 1]
"Meet me at the gates at [Am]eight
Leave now, don't be [G]late"
She said one day she'd [C]walk away
'Cause I was always [Em]late
Thought things were [Am]okay
Didn't care though any[G]way
Say "Sorry, [C]babe, I had to meet a mate",
tempting our [Em]fate
We first met [Am]through a shared view
She loved me and I did [G]too
It's now [C]7:50, getting ready, better be [Em]nifty
Do my hair quick[Am]ly, step out, it's cloudy
[G]Mate bells me [C]to borrow money,
I've got two Henrys and a [Em]dealer to pay
Call up on gee[Am]zers
to rid these green trees of my reeking [G]jeans
Got a "You [C]think I care?" air,
out- glaring [Em]geezers' stares
I'm here and I'm [Am]there
Couldn't see past the [G]end of my beer
What was [C]getting near
all the silence after the [Em]cheers

[Chorus 1]
[Em]I didn't know [Am]that it was over
[G]'Til it was too[C] late, too late
[Em]But if I[Am] ever needed you
[G]Would you be [C]there?
[Em]She said

[Verse 2]
"Meet me at the gates,
[Am]don't be late"
But pretty soon the [G]day came for change
And [C]I was glad she never walked away
[Em]So I'm choosing what to wear
Do[Am]ing my hair with an hour to spare
[G]When my life went pear,
[C]she'd been there with a thick stare
[Em]Big wheel climbed to the top[Am]
Geezers' stares bounced off
[G]Standing at the top
of this [C]huge mountain
Smiling and [Em]shouting
Spring flowers sprout[Am]ing
Not one inch of doubt in my mind
As I [G]reached the gates
[C]Came around the corner at a rate
[Em]Risked her love,
but I was gonna set [Am]things straight
Never again am I gonna be [G]late
Never a[C]gain am I gonna be late
Never a[Em]gain am I gonna be

[Chorus 2]
[Em](late) I didn't [Am]know that it was over
[G]'Til it was too[C] late, too late
[Em]But if I[Am] ever needed you
[G]Would you be [C]there?
[Em]I said,

[Verse 3]
"Meet me at the gates
Leave now, don't be late"
I waited for a while listening to her voicemail,
mind set sail
Then the facts turned me pale
Wind, rain and hail
My fears unveiled for my fair female
[Em]She'd walked away[Am]
Too little, too late
I [G]step up the pace, walk [C]past the gates,
rain runs over my [Em]face
Spirit falls [Am]from grace
I purchase a [G]hazy escape
at the [C]alcohol place In the Chase
[Em]I sat down, got a fat [Am]frown
Weeping and [G]drown in my senses
[C]For this love game's expen- [Em]sive
I walk in a [Am]trance
Got a wounded soldier [G]stance
And the every[C]day geezers' stares
throw me off [Em]balance
Now nothing [Am]holds significance
And nothing holds [G]relevance
[C]'Cause the only thing I can see
is her [Em]elegance

[Chorus 3]
[Em]I didn't know [Am]that it was over
[G]'Til it was too[C] late, too late
[Em]But if I[Am] ever needed you
[G]Would you be [C]the[Em]re?
I didn't [Am]know that it was over
[G]'Til it was too[C] late, too late
[Em]But if I[Am] ever needed you
[G]Would you be [C]there?
[Em][Am]
