Verse 1:
Am
Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
Am
I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read
Em                                                    Am
I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do
Em                                                                         Am
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too

Verse 2:
Am
Tennis shoes hangin' from a telephone wire
Am
I've got a little money, I could get a little higher
Em
I was alright awhile but you know how it goes
Em                                                    Am
Everything in moderation, including moderation I suppose


Verse 3:
Am
I never did like the people where I was employed
Am
They was always out to get me 'cause I'm paranoid
Em                                                      Am
Now I'm workin' for myself and that don't pay a lousy dime
Em                                                        Am
If what we're here to do is learn to forgive each other, I'm gon' need a little more time


Chorus:

It's too soon to tell
Am                  Am Am7 Asus4 Am
It's too soon to tell
Am               Em Em7 Em Em7     Am
It's too soon to tell       by and by
Em                                                           Am
It's too soon to tell what's goin' to happen to you when you die


Verse 4:
Am
It's too soon to tell what we'll ever avenge
Am
They say that living well is the best revenge
     Em                                    Am
I say, "Bullshit, the best revenge is revenge"
Em                                   Am
This isn't over, we're going to meet again


Verse 5:
Am
And good Lord if you're up there, you sure got some nerve
C           Am
Seems like even the wicked get worse than they deserve
D                                          Em
We're afraid to die, every goddamn one of us
 E
I swear to God it's like you're makin' fun of us


Verse 6:
Am
Not worth keepin', or too good to keep
Am
You got a better kinda secret, better wait 'til I'm asleep
 E                                                           Am
And if you're so God almighty well then what's with all this mystery?
             Em                                                         Am
Yes, I would love trust you, buddy, but you're clearly keeping secrets from me

         Em                                                Am
It's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to you when you die


Verse 7:
Am
At the fortune teller's on the second floor
Am
In bright red letters hangin' off of the door
Em       E        Em                                   Am Asus4
It said "closed", I think it might've been some kinda sign
Em                         Dm                            Em E
Don't give up on me, baby, I think I could be losin' my mind


Verse 8:
Am
I've just met too many people that I love all too much
Am      nc
They're scattered all over, I could never stay in touch with them
    Dm                              E
I'm travellin', travlin forever it seems
  Dm                                                 E Em Em7
I woke up one morning with a lot more memories than dreams


Verse 9:
Am
Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head
Am
I'm walkin' down the hill without my fortune read
Em                                                   Am
I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do
  Em                                                                      Am
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too
               Em                                                           Am
I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too
