A                          F#m 
Ever since the day that we met 
E                            A 
I couldn't get you out of my head 
                           F#m   E 
There was always something about you 
A                           F#m 
Every chance that I seem to get 
 E                          A 
Finds a way to end in regret 
                            F#m  E 
There was always something about you 
 
F#m    E          A       D 
Jealousy keeps containing me 
   F#m         E 
In time you'll see 
      A            D 
Just what we could be 
 
 
 
               A 
But I'm always too late 
           F#m 
I'm always too late 
  E                         D 
I see you but I always hesitate 
                  A 
'Cause I'm always too late 
               F#m 
Don't wanna be too late 
   E                                  D 
To have you by my side and I can't wait 
'Cause never is too late

Every time I see you with him
