                Dm               F                Bb  
      Under some dirty words on a dirty wall,  
   C           F             Bb  
      Eating take out by myself.  
  Gm                C     Gm              C  
      I played the shows, got back in the van  
                     Bb             Bb  
      and put the walkman on, and you were playing.  
  Dm               F          Bb  
      Some other dive 1,000 miles away,  
   C              F             Bb  
      I've played 1,000 times before,  
  Gm                 C           Gm                   C  
      like pathetic stars, the truck stops, and the rock club  
                Bb               Bb  
      walls I always knew.  You saw them too...  
  
  
                        F             
      But you never will again  
  C                    Bb                   F  
      It's too late.          Ahh, don't you know  
                 C               Bb  
      It's been too late, for a long time.
