Tomarrows Just Too Late

  G                   D
you drag your tiger’s paw across
     C                   G
your chapped & cracking lips,
      Am
and open up a crimson slur
     C                   G?
you spread each time you kiss.

     Am                   Em
the broken boy you bargain with
     C      D         G
to turn back to the man
            Am
that you fell in love with once
             C
but never saw again.
       G                 D                  C
is he in there? do you think he drowned to death?
       Am                                 G
well it's his decision to show his face again.
    G                 D
you grind your tired teeth
            C                   G
& curse the day that you were born
     Am                          C                G?
to a sunken line of Irish wives a million miles long,


  Am             Em               C       D      G
devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve.
               Am
a husband’s a cross to bear,
                  C               D
worry lines & a silver string of hair

        G                   D               C
come too early, come to steal your sainted youth..

   Am                                       G     D
well it's your decision to stay or else to move.

        C                     G              D
& I'm not a man of faith, no gospel oak for me,
        C                     G               D
but you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs,
        Am                     Em         D                C
and the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go.

so you've got a choice to make:

shut him out, save yourself, or sit and wait.
           G                             Am
but you're waiting on a man who will not move.
        C                                     G
so you must move for him and do what he can't do.
         C?                      C                   G
cause it’s worth it, that’s the one life you can change,
          C?                   C             G
and I'm sorry sister, but it has to end this way.
           C?                   C               G
yea, it’s scary sister, but tomorrow’s just too late.
        C?
so stand up sister,
          C               G
there’s an albatross to shake.
