Too Late For Lullabies by James Morrison
Too Late For Lullabies
(Fm is the chord played up on the 8th fret)
Cm Fm G# G
Ooohhhh
[Verse 1]
Cm Fm G# G
It’s a sad song that has no end
Cm Fm G# G
It’s a bleeding heart that never mends
Cm Fm G# G
A minor miracle we can still pretend
Cm Fm G# G
After so long
Cm Fm G# G
Did the apple fall too far from the tree?
Cm Fm G# G
Did we get lost in the space in-between?
Cm Fm G# G
But the roots that we buried so deep
Cm Fm G# G
Will always be strong
[Chorus]
G# Gm Cm Fm
Too late for lullabies
G# Gm Cm Fm
Too soon for it alright
G# Gm Cm Fm
Love takes its toll sometimes
G# Gm Cm Fm
Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time
G# Gm Cm Fm
For every time you ever raised up your hand
G# Gm Cm Fm
I’ll give you mine to show you I understand
G# Gm Cm Fm
You taught me to fly by learning to fall
G# Gm Cm Fm
Ooo yeah
[Verse 2]
Cm Fm G# G
Love burns when it’s in the blood
Cm Fm G# G
And god knows I burnt you the best I could
Cm Fm G# G
How can three words be so misunderstood?
Cm Fm G# G
We got it so wrong
Cm Fm G# G
Yeah the greatest gift that you ever gave to me
Cm Fm G# G
You don’t know your strength ’till you’ve faced defeat
Cm Fm G# G
So when everything’s just out of reach
Cm Fm G# G
Keep holding on
G# Gm Cm Fm
Too late for lullabies
G# Gm Cm Fm
Too soon for it alright
G# Gm Cm Fm
Love takes its toll sometimes
G# Gm Cm Fm
Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time
G# Gm Cm Fm
For every time you ever raised up your hand
G# Gm Cm Fm
I’ll give you mine to show you I understand
G# Gm Cm Fm
You taught me to fly by learning to fall
[Bridge]
G# Gm Cm Fm
We built a brick wall but it’s all for nothing
G# Gm Cm Fm
Only bridges will cross this divide
G# Gm Cm Fm
We both know this road leads to nowhere
G# Gm Cm Fm
There is nothing left for you to hide
[Chorus] x2
(softly first then loud)
G# Gm Cm Fm
Too late for lullabies
G# Gm Cm Fm
Too soon for it alright
G# Gm Cm Fm
Love takes its toll sometimes
G# Gm Cm Fm
Let’s start a clean slate, mistakes are moments in time
G# Gm Cm Fm
For every time you ever raised up your hand
G# Gm Cm Fm
I’ll give you mine to show you I understand
G# Gm Cm Fm
You taught me to fly by love by learning to fall
