Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
      C majorC     FF  C majorC
There was a time when I was handsome
      FF       FF     C majorC
There was a time when I had money to burn
      C majorC     FF    C majorC
There was a time when where I landed
    FF                 C majorC
Was the least of my, was the least of my concerns

   FF       G+G       C majorC
But it hurts to lean back in these handcuffs
   FF       G+G        C majorC
Like nine kinds of shame turned to rage
   FF    M        FF    G+G
As a younger man I might have put up a fight
    FF        G+G     C majorC
But I feel like such a fool at my age

Chorus:
 E minorEm            DmDm
Some of this trouble just finds me
E minorEm        FF
No matter where I turn
  C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G
So how do you know when it's too late?
 C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G
How do you know when it's too late?
 C majorC     DmDm      FF  G+G    C majorC
How do you know when it's too late to learn?


Verse 2:
       C majorC     FF      C majorC
You know the number one symptom of heart disease
  FF                       C majorC
The number one symptom of heart disease is sudden death
     C majorC       FF   C majorC           FF
It's like time stands still forever until it starts shaking around on you
 FF                      C majorC
Shaking around like some crazy old hooker on meth

    FF     G+G       C majorC
And you know me I can't take no preaching
    FF     G+G     C majorC
Not on Sunday or no other day
   FF      G+G     FF     G+G
But I feel like I oughta be praying or something
  FF     G+G      C majorC
And I have no idea what to say

Chorus:
E minorEm             DmDm
Some of this trouble just finds me
E minorEm          FF
Most of this trouble I earn
C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G
How do you know when it's too late?
C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G
How do you know when it's too late?
C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G    C majorC
How do you know when it's too late to learn?


Verse 3:
       C majorC      FF      C majorC
I've learned nothing out here on this highway
      FF
But I have been passed by
      FF                C majorC
And I have passed my more than my share of cars
    C majorC   FF    C majorC
And I do remember my younger days
      FF               FF
When I was so certain that driving even faster
         C majorC
Was gonna get me far

      FF        G+G      C majorC
So there's nothing left for me to learn here
     FF      G+G     C majorC
Just this half full of half empty cup
FF      G+G     FF     G+G
Less than an ounce of possession man
      FF       G+G      C majorC
I could do that kind of time standing up


Chorus:
E minorEm              DmDm
Most of this trouble just finds me
 E minorEm        FF
No matter where I turn
 C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G
How do you know when it's too late?
 C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G
How do you know when it's too late?
 C majorC     DmDm       FF  G+G   C majorC
How do you know when it's too late to learn?
