Am            Em7
You walked in to the room
Am      G
I just had to laugh
Am            Em7
The face you wore was cool
Am           G
You were a photograph
          A#       F
When it's all too late
A#            F
It's all too late

I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve?
When it's all too late
It's all too late

Chorus:
Am
Change!
G        Am
You can change
Am
Change!
G        Am
You can change

And something on your mind
Became a point of view
I lost your honesty
You lost the life in you
When it's all too late
It's all too late

We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you?
When it's all too late
It's all too late

Chorus

Em7       F
What has happened to
    Em7         F
The friend that I once knew
Em7     F
Has he gone away

When it's all too late
It's all too late
Change

Chorus - x3
