when we realized it's so late

F F 
 
And this walk that we shared together
Gm Gm 
 
The streets were wet,

So I jumped it and I let you in
Gm Gm 
 
And you stood at your door
Eb Eb 
 
with your hands on my waist
Bb Bb 
 
F F 
 
And you kissed me like you meant it
Gm Gm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
And I   knew that you meant it
Bb Bb 
 
That you meant it
F F 
 
That you meant it
Gm Gm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
And I   knew that you meant it
Bb Bb 
 
That you meant it
