A
D 
day late
G 
and a dollar short
Who'd have believed it?
G 
Yeah, who'd have thought?
D 
G 
D 
A dumb deal
G 
And you blew it all
You wouldn't live soon
G 
When the time was caught
D 
Dm 
Cause enough is enough
G 
is a tough one
G 
And one of us better just say
A delight in the dark
D 
But sure, you promised to be
Am 
G 
true to the word
Like some empty thought
C 
You come a delight in the dark
D 
But sure, I wonder where the
Am 
G 
truth will be found
C 
Dm 
I found what I saw around the corner

Dm 
A   bottom line,
G 
well I'll go without
G 
Two minus you girl, go figure out
D 
G 
At long last, well getting smart
You can follow the cash,
G 
or follow my heart
D 
Tell me, why would I ever
Dm 
G 
believe you?
G 
Why shouldn't I ever just leave you?

My daylight and my time are short
D 
Am 
G 
You promised to be true to the word
Like sun after flood
C 
You come
D 
My daylight and my time are short
Am 
G 
I wanted it where the truth would be found
I found what I sought
C 
Around
D 
My daylight and my time are short

Dm 
We're dilating the

C 
G 
Am 
dollar short
D 
Dm 
Like sheep are saying,
G 
we're the dispossessed
In the setting sun,
G 
we're the second best
Dm 
And the first to fail,
G 
as you may have guessed
It's just having fun,
G 
D 
nothing more or less
Am 
G 
You promised to be true to the word
Like sun after thorn,
C 
you come when daylight
D 
And the dawn are sure I wondered
Am 
G 
where the truth would be found
C 
D 
I found what I sought around the day
Am 
G 
You promised me a star and a moon
C 
But the love that I sought is lost
D 
when daylight and the dawn are sure
Am 
I wanna know when my life's
G 
gonna change
C 
I'm struck by the thought that life
Dm 
Ain't too late in the dollar, short
Come on, come on
G 
G 
Ain't too late in the dollar, short
D 
Dm 
Come on, come on
G 
Ain't too late in the dollar,
G 
short
D 
Ain't too late in the dollar, short
