I Guess I Waited too Long By Jeff Gilpin
April 12, 2007 - Dedicated to Mark Richards
Verse 1
[A]Not All the good die [E]young
[D]Not all the bad die [A]old
[A]Life and death well they [E]ain’t always fair
Or at least that’s what I been [A]told
Chorus
So how come I [D]miss you
I just found [A]out you’re gone
So much we [E]didn’t get to do
I guess I [D]waited too [A]long
Verse 2
[A]Life’s filled with lots of [E]grey
[D]Nothings all black and [A]white
[A]Try to keep doing the [E]best you can
And hope that things work out [A]right
Chorus
So how come I [D]miss you
I just found [A]out you’re gone
So much we [E]didn’t get to do
I guess I [D]waited too [A]long
Verse 3
[A]No one said life would be [E]fair
[D]You get whatever comes your [A]way
[A]Wake up to good morning come [E]home to the blues
What is there left to [A]say
Chorus
So how come I [D]miss you
I just found [A]out you’re gone
So much we [E]didn’t get to do
I guess I [D]waited too [A]long
Verse 4
[A]I’ve never stayed for too [E]long
[D]And my visits were years a[A]part
But [A]my shock of me seeing you [E]wasting away
Just about stopped my [A]heart
Chorus
So how come I [D]miss you
I just found [A]out you’re gone
So much we [E]didn’t get to do
I guess I [D]waited too [A]long
Verse 5
[A]This morning you passed a[E]way
[D]I hope your pain is all [A]gone
[A]Can’t express how [E]much I miss you
So I wrote you this [A]song
Chorus
So how come I [D]miss you
I just found [A]out you’re gone
So much we [E]didn’t get to do
I guess I [D]waited too [A]long[A7]
Ending Chorus
I bet you’re looking [D]down on us now
All your weariness [A]gone
If I’m handed a [E]similar fate
I pray [D]I’ll be as [A]strong
