Am7                                          D6  
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
Am7                                                  D6  
There' s something wrong here, there can be no denying
Am7                                @Gm7                            F7+  
One of us is changing, or maybe we just stopped trying

            Bb7+                    F7+  
And it' s too late, baby, now it' s too late
             Bb7+                 F7+  
Though we really did try to make it
Bb7+                     F7+                 Dm7  
Something inside has died and I can' t hide
Dm7                    E4  E7             Am7    D6    Am7    D6  
And I just can' t fake it

    Am7                                D6  
It used to be so easy living here with you
Am7                                        D6  
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
     Am7                              @Gm7                F7+  
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

            Bb7+                    F7+  
And it' s too late, baby, now it' s too late
             Bb7+                 F7+  
Though we really did try to make it
Bb7+                     F7+                 Dm7  
Something inside has died and I can' t hide
Dm7                    @G4  @G7              C7+    F7+    Bb7+    Am7  @Gm7  F7+  Dm7  E7  
And I just can' t fake it, no no

Am7    D6    Am7    D6  

Am7                                         D6  
There' ll be good times again for me and you
          Am7                                            D6  
But we just can' t stay together, don' t you feel it too
             Am7                          @Gm7                 F7+  
Still I' m glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

            Bb7+                    F7+  
And it' s too late, baby, now it' s too late
             Bb7+                 F7+  
Though we really did try to make it
Bb7+                     F7+                 Dm7  
Something inside has died and I can' t hide
Dm7                    G4  G7              C7+    F7+    Bb7+    Am7  Gm7  F7+  Dm7  G  
And I just can' t fake it, no no

            C7+  F7+                  C7+  F7+              C7+  
It`s too late, darling, it&rsquo s too late, baby, it&rsquo s too late
