Too Late To Die Young(Cavaco chords)

	        Intro: G G D/F# Em D Dsus2 D G G D/F# Em D Dsus2 D 

Verse 1:
 
            G 
The day the Elvis died 
           Em 
Was like a mercy killing 
G                  D       G 
America breathed a sigh of relief 
        C 
We knew all about the drugs 
        D     G 
And the Vegas shows 
          C              G 
And there wasn't much of anything 
     D 
That looked like grief 

Pre-Chorus
      C 
And I guess he shoulda done 
     D          G 
Like James Dean did 
          C          G 
'Stead of putting on weight 
            G     D/F#  Em 
And sinking down, down, down 
C 
Easier to take 
   D           G 
If he had just skidded straight 
   C        G        D 
To souvenir city and T-shirt town 


    F           Bb 
And sometimes I wish 
      D              G 
I was smarter that I am 
        C         G 
But I'm on my 3rd city 
        C         G 
And I'm on my 4th car 
        C          G 
And I'm on my 5th apartment 
       Em                   D 
And so many of my days have sprung 


Post-Chorus
 
             C           G 
And now it's too late to crash 
C           G 
Too late to burn 
C           C/B  C/A  G  D    G 
Too late to die               young 

Verse 2:
 
        G 
If Pete Rose had exploded 
       C 
Like Roberto Clemente 
        G                      D 
He'd be hanging in the Hall of Fame 
        G 
Without fail 
        C 
Can you name the last good film 
D             G 
Marlon Brando made 
      C                  G 
While trying to keep his kid 
     D 
From going to jail? 

Bridge:
 
        A 
And the old people 
       D 
On the street are telling you 
 A                 D       D/C 
'Don't become like me' but every day 
D/B                    D/Bb 
You creep a little bit closer 

Pre-Chorus
 
      C 
And I guess we shoulda done 
     D          G 
Like James Dean did 
          C          G 
'Stead of putting on weight 
            G     D/F#  Em 
And sinking down, down, down 
C 
Easier to take 
   D           G 
If we'd a just skidded straight 
   C        G        D 
To souvenir city and T-shirt town 

 
    F           Bb 
And sometimes I wish 
      C              G 
I was smarter that I am 
        C         G 
But I'm on my 3rd city 
        C         G 
And I'm on my 4th car 
        C         G 
And I'm on my 5th apartment 
      Em                    D 
And so many of my days have sprung 


Post-Chorus
 
             C           G 
And now it's too late to crash 
C           G 
Too late to burn 
C           C/B  C/A  G  D    G 
Too late to die               young
