Kevin Devine – Tomorrows Just Too Late (Ukulele)

 G                   D
you drag your tiger’s paw across

     C/G               Gadd9*
your chapped & cracking lips,

      Em
and open up a crimson slur

     C/G                   G+
you spread each time you kiss.

     Am                   Em
the broken boy you bargain with

     C/G      D         Gadd9
to turn back to the man

            Am
that you fell in love with once

             C/G
but never saw again.

       G       C/G          D                  Em
is he in there? do you think he drowned to death?

       A7                  C/G             Gadd9    D
well it's his decision to show his face again.

    G                 D
you grind your tired teeth

            C/G                 Gadd9*
& curse the day that you were born

     Em                          C/G               G+
to a sunken line of Irish wives a million miles long,

  Am             Em               C/G       D      Gadd9
devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve.

               Am
a husband’s a cross to bear,

                  C/G
worry lines & a silver string of hair

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

   A7                    C/G                   G     D
well it's your decision to stay or else to move.

        C/G                     G
& I'm not a man of faith, no gospel oak for me,

        C/G                     G               D
but you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs,

        Am       Am/B                                Em  D   C
and the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go.

                         Am
so you've got a choice to make:

                  C/G
shut him out, save yourself, or sit and wait.

           G    C/G            G      D     Em
but you're waiting on a man who will not move.

        A7                C/G                     G
so you must move for him and do what he can't do.

(mute)     G   C/G              C/G       D          Em
cause it’s worth it, that’s the one life you can change,

          A7                   C/G             G
and I'm sorry sister, but it has to end this way.

           A7                   C/G               G
yea, it’s scary sister, but tomorrow’s just too late.

     A7
so stand up sister,

          C               G
there’s an albatross to shake.
