   Dm
I should've known better
Than to ever
Look to heaven questioning
  A#
Whether I've found it
Put it up, sounded
Better than it looked
              Dm
Now I'm your friend
A#
Yea, yea
                   C
I'm stuck in this dead end
                                    Gm
And all these words, they come too late
You could never compensate
          A#
For this pain oh

Chorus:
                    Dm
I should've said it all when I was close to you
                    C
I should've said it all when I was close to you
              Gm
Like I was supposed to do
              A#
Like I was supposed to do

     Gm
I should've known better than to be pacified
Now you just pass me by
      A#
I'm stumbling through this life like a man with no sight
No sight

Yea, oh
Like a man that lost his fight
And all these words, they come too late
You could never compensate
For this pain

Chorus

          F
It's too late
              C
The hands of fate
                 Dm
Oh the hands of fate yea
Just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
         A#
Help me change
Help me change, help me change

It's too late
The hands of fate
Just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
No, it just won't wait
Help me change
Help me change, help me change

Chorus:
I should've said it all when I was close to you
I should've said it all when I was close to you
Like I was supposed to do
Like I was supposed to do
Oh like I was supposed to do
