INTRO

E MajorE FF     C majorC  E MajorE FF       C majorC
 Everyday     on my way home

E MajorE         FF         C majorC
 The clouds would break and the angels
              C(riff1)
  Would sing their refrain
E MajorE      FF        C(riff1)
 This world's an ungodly place
E MajorE       FF     C(riff1)
 Strangled by vines unchaste
E MajorE       FF       G+G (let ring)
 So with my shining blade of steel
            C(riff1)
 I would cut a path wide


 Dipped in the ink of the fight
 Written clean through the night
 Mark my words upon the front page
 To set my world straight

CHORUS
 First guitar alone : C majorC FF Bb majorBb D#D# G+G C majorC FF Bb majorBb

      C majorC FF       Bb majorBb D#D#   |
 It's too late, it's too late     |  x3
      G+G C majorC       FF Bb majorBb   |
 It's too late, it's too late     |

G+G            A minorAm       C majorC
 Just like I found it, my world is split
 C majorC   C majorC  C majorC  C majorC
 Right down the spine

(Then something easy like the intro)

 Years bled dry now ripe for a reckoning
 My blade's back slash beckoning
 Slice my wounds and I make the sign one more time

 Come on. come on. come home. come home
 Yeah it's too late, it's too late
 It's too late, to refrain...refrain...refrain...
