Too Late for Lullabies James Morrison
(Verse 1)
[Cm]It'[Fm]s a[G#] sa[G]d song that has no end
[Cm]It'[Fm]s a[G#] bl[G]eeding heart that never mends
[Cm]A m[Fm]ino[G#]r m[G]iracle we can still pretend
[Cm]Aft[Fm]er [G#]so [G]long
[Cm]Did[Fm] th[G#]e a[G]pple fall too far from the tree?
[Cm]Did[Fm] we[G#] ge[G]t lost in the space in-between?
[Cm]But[Fm] th[G#]e r[G]oots that we buried so deep
[Cm]Wil[Fm]l a[G#]lwa[G]ys be strong
(Chorus)
[G#]Too[Gm] la[Cm]te [Fm]for lullabies
[G#]Too[Gm] so[Cm]on [Fm]for it alright
[G#]Lov[Gm]e t[Cm]ake[Fm]s its toll sometimes
[G#]Let[Gm]'s [Cm]sta[Fm]rt a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time
[G#]For[Gm] ev[Cm]ery[Fm] time you ever raised up your hand
[G#]I'l[Gm]l g[Cm]ive[Fm] you mine to show you I understand
[G#]You[Gm] ta[Cm]ugh[Fm]t me to fly by learning to fall
[G#]Ooo[Gm] ye[Cm]ah[Fm]
(Verse 2)
[Cm]Lov[Fm]e b[G#]urn[G]s when it's in the blood
[Cm]And[Fm] go[G#]d k[G]nows I burnt you the best I could
[Cm]How[Fm] ca[G#]n t[G]hree words be so misunderstood?
[Cm]We [Fm]got[G#] it[G] so wrong
[Cm]Yea[Fm]h t[G#]he [G]greatest gift that you ever gave to me
[Cm]You[Fm] do[G#]n't[G] know your strength 'till you've faced defeat
[Cm]So [Fm]whe[G#]n e[G]verything's just out of reach
[Cm]Kee[Fm]p h[G#]old[G]ing on
[G#]Too[Gm] la[Cm]te [Fm]for lullabies
[G#]Too[Gm] so[Cm]on [Fm]for it alright
[G#]Lov[Gm]e t[Cm]ake[Fm]s its toll sometimes
[G#]Let[Gm]'s [Cm]sta[Fm]rt a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time
[G#]For[Gm] ev[Cm]ery[Fm] time you ever raised up your hand
[G#]I'l[Gm]l g[Cm]ive[Fm] you mine to show you I understand
[G#]You[Gm] ta[Cm]ugh[Fm]t me to fly by learning to fall
(Bridge)
[G#]We [Gm]bui[Cm]lt [Fm]a brick wall but it's all for nothing
[G#]Onl[Gm]y b[Cm]rid[Fm]ges will cross this divide
[G#]We [Gm]bot[Cm]h k[Fm]now this road leads to nowhere
[G#]The[Gm]re [Cm]is [Fm]nothing left for you to hide
(Chorus) x2
(softly first then loud)
[G#]Too[Gm] la[Cm]te [Fm]for lullabies
[G#]Too[Gm] so[Cm]on [Fm]for it alright
[G#]Lov[Gm]e t[Cm]ake[Fm]s its toll sometimes
[G#]Let[Gm]'s [Cm]sta[Fm]rt a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time
[G#]For[Gm] ev[Cm]ery[Fm] time you ever raised up your hand
[G#]I'l[Gm]l g[Cm]ive[Fm] you mine to show you I understand
[G#]You[Gm] ta[Cm]ugh[Fm]t me to fly by love by learning to fall
