D                                         G
the wind changed, the first day that you came
through
D
cut the corn, washed it clean
G                                 Bm
now everything that's ever gone before,
A       G
is just a blur
     Bm     A
it's all because of you

D                                     G
and now I find, this cities like a stranger to me
D                                   G
I once was fooled by cadillacs and honey
                  Bm     A
but no one feels like you
     G
not like you
     Bm    A
not like you
     G      D/F#
not like you

Em7                    D/F#                   G
cause even though the flower fades something takes
its place
D/F#                 Em7             D/F#
a marching band on a sunny day, two pretty eyes
       G
or a pretty face

Chorus:
D            A        G
then in the forest I made my home
D            A       G
lay down on hard and ancient stone
D           A            G          D/F#
then if my heart should somehow stop
          Em7
I'll hang on, to the hope
                     D   G
that you're not too late
                     D   G
that you're not too late

And there are times i know when
i will have to chase you
The further from my side you go, the longing grows
And I will hate it, I still want you
Cause I will hate it, but I still want you around
Even though the flower dies somethings by it's side
A helping hand or a kiss goodbye,
to ease it on it's way

Chorus:
Then in the forest i made my home
Lay down on hard and ancient stone
Then if my heart should somehow stop
I'll hang on, to the hope
You're not too late
Not too late no,no

And in the forest i made my home
Lay down on hard and ancient stone
Then if my heart should somehow stop
I'll hang on, to the hope
That you're not too late
That you're not too late
