the above tab sequence repeats for the verse
D
One more time he says good night
D
Turns out the door and off the light, cursing low
GD
As if she didn't know
D
One more time he'd comfort her
D
As if a word could break through her--she's so quiet
GD
And he's so sick of it
chorus
Just arpeggiate these chords as you wish
DEmGD
Too long Too late this time
DEmGD
Too far Too great in my mind
verse
D
One more time a runaround
D
Nothing meant by anyone--fine with them
GD
Such a quiet din
D
Says he wants to leave a while
D
She just sits and tries to smile--that's okay
GD
It was boring anyway
chorus
DEmGD
Too long Too late this time
DEmGDG
Too far Too great in my mind
verse
D
Says she need a worshipper
D
Someone who'll do anything at all
GD
for her--wishful thinker
D
He don't need this schizo bull
D
Each one misses by so far, they don't see it
GD
come. But who ever does?
chorus
