Late In the Day by Tim O’Brien

Late in the day

F C

When shadows start to play on my back door and

Am Dm G

up and down this alley way

I think back on the times

With your hand in mine

C Am Dm G C

We sat talking low late in the day

It seems you never know

F C

A good thing till it goes, slipping thru your fingers

Am Dm G

That’s just the price I pay

For being my own man

Doing the best I can

C Am Dm G C

Now I'm alone without a plan late in the day

Chorus:

Now I pour whiskey break the ice

F C

Put my feet up & close my eyes

F C Am Dm G

Try hard to listen to what my heart might say

C F

Try to find the rhyme to take me back in time

C Am Dm G C

Then be with you here late in the day

Verse chords w/ solo

I look out over top

F C

of the houses and the shops as the sun sets

Am Dm G

Another days does wind down

My life is still the same

My heart can't hide the pain

C Am Dm G C

And my lips still call your name late in the day

Chorus:

Now I pour whiskey break the ice

F C

Put my feet up & close my eyes

F C Am Dm G

Try hard to listen to what my heart might say

C F

Try to find the rhyme to take me back in time

C Am Dm G C

Then be with you here late in the day

My life is still the same

My heart can't hide the pain

C Am Dm G C

And my lips still call your name late in the day
