Capo on 2nd fret
              
 
 
 
 
Mmmmm 
           G                              F                C   D 
I got my hands in my pockets cause it's been a cold walk home 
      G                          F                   C   D 
I'm still a little shocked that you don't want me anymore 
G           F       
I was so foolish thinkin' you'd be 
C                          D 
Happy just sittin' round waitin' on me 
C 
It really put me in my place 
D 
When you closed the door in my face 
 
G-F-C- 
And I.... 
       D            G-F-C 
Sure spent a lot of time 
      D           G 
All makin' up my mind  
                        F            C   D 
Once I finally figured out where I belong 
             G-F-C-D 
I waited too long 
 
Yeah 
 
I guess I waited too long 
 
(Repeat Same Pattern G-F-C-D) 
 
I could beg, I could cry but it won't change the circumstance 
Cause the truth is I should've pulled the trigger when I had the chance 
I was looking for something I already had 
When I came back for it it was somebody else's 
You used to give me all your lovin' 
But now you say you've had enough 
 
And I 
I sure spent a lot of time 
Oh makin' up my mind 
Once I finally figured out where I belong 
I waited too long 
Yeah 
I guess I waited too long 
 
Oh waited, I waited 
 
I got my hands in my pockets cause it's been a cold walk home 
I'm still a little shocked that you don't want me anymore 
 
And I 
Sure spent a lot of time 
Oh makin' up my mind 
And once I finally figured out where I belong 
Yeah once I finally figured out where I belong 
I waited too long 
Yeah I guess I waited too long 
Waited, waited 
Oh waited, waited too long
