This next song goes out to all the old married couples really.
I mean, even when you've found that person that you want to spend the rest of your life with
and you know you're never going to leave, you're never going to go away,
you still have those days when you look over at that person next to you and you say,
why am I here?
And that's when you know it's too late.
[E]
[A]
You pace the pool and talk about it and I read my book and think about it.
You've walked on water as I'm turning the page.
You say what's the intrigue of reading when the sky is clear?
You're in the sun and I am always in the shade.
But it's too late to leave you, you know that I will never leave you.
It's too late to know you, you know I'd like to be alone.
And you would never hold me, I don't like to be held.
And I will always love you in spite of myself.
I can feel the weather change and the leaves are tired and turned in anger.
They fall around us like a veil of cold and tears.
And you have never needed me and I'm not going to [A] be needed.
The [E] season's leaving us but we will still be here.
Cause it's too late [A] to leave you, you know that I will never leave you.
It's too late to know you, you know I'd like to be alone.
And you would never hold me, I don't like to be held.
And I will always [E] love you in spite
[A] of myself.
Do you miss me when I'm far away?
Do you save [B] me from your rainy days?
Is my picture on the mantel or is [A] it in the fire?
It's odd the way the years fly by, they never stand side by side.
You have been my mystery and I have been your desire.
Cause it's too late to leave you, you know that I will never leave you.
It's too late to know you, you know I'd like to be alone.
And you would never hold me, I don't like to be held.
But I will always love you in spite of myself.
Yes, I will always love you in spite of myself.
