Intro:
G  D  G     D  G


Verse 1:
G           D                            G
I've always wondered what was wrong with me
                                    D                 G
That I couldn't make you love me, I couldn't make you see
    C                              D
The things you didn't say, and the things you didn't do
    G                          C
Just made me try harder to get to you
    G                      D                 G
You had a million chances, you had your fair shake

Chorus:
             C              D
Guess you're a day late and a dollar short
G                          C
Saying things you couldn't say before
G                                 D
Like I'm somebody you never wanna lose
    C                        D
Why didn't you say it when I needed you to?
     G       D/F#       Em
It's easy to see what I meant to you
G                                         D
Looks like you're willing to meet me half way
                                                 G
But I finally quit waiting, waiting for a reason to stay


Verse 2:
         D                          G
I always thought someday that you'd change
                            D                      G
Couldn't move your heart of stone, so I turned the page
        C                  D
I tried every trick in the whole damn book
           G                    C
To try and get you to give me a second look
    G                           D            G
You had to see this coming, you let me slip away


Chorus:
             C              D
Guess you're a day late and a dollar short
G                          C
Saying things you couldn't say before
G                                 D
Like I'm somebody you never wanna lose
    C                        D
Why didn't you say it when I needed you to?
     G       D/F#       Em
It's easy to see what I meant to you
G                                         D
Looks like you're willing to meet me half way
                                                 G
But I finally quit waiting, waiting for a reason to stay

                                                 G
But I finally quit waiting, waiting for a reason to stay
        D                                          G
Yeah, I finally quit waiting, waiting for a reason to stay
