Born Too Late

Bb7 Eb Bb


[Verse 1]

                      F            
I stare out the window at this long
        Bb
 interstate
                     F          
Backed up in traffic, I just sit 
           Bb
here and wait
                             Eb  
And dream of wide-open spaces, no 
             Bb
fences or gates
                    F  Eb         
But this is the 90's,     guess I 
      F             Bb
was just born too late


[Verse 2]
                      F        
The smog from the city, it sure 
            Bb
burns my eyes
                  F  F7           
Sometimes I wonder   just how 
     Bb
we'll survive
                     Eb          
We keep runnin' faster but are we 
             Bb
losing the race
                              F  
Well I guess I'm old fashioned,  
Eb   F              Bb
     just born too late


[Chorus]
               Eb
Just born too late
                 Bb
For these modern days
                Eb   C7
I should have lived
             F
Before microwaves
                          Eb
I'm like an endangered species
                  Bb    C*  D*  Eb
Just captured by fate
                  Bb    F
But I have no choice
                    Bb
I was just born too late

[Verse 3]
                      F            
This built in computer tells me how
          Bb
 far I've been
                    F              
Another advancement   of this age 
    Bb
we live in
                       Eb       
But it can't change a scenery or 
           Bb
help me escape
                 F     Eb         
The constant reminder      that I 
     F            Bb
was just born too late


[Chorus]
                     Eb
I was just born too late
                  Bb
For these modern days
                Eb  C7
I should have lived
             F
Before microwaves
                         Eb
I'm like an endangered species
                  Bb   C*  D*  Eb
Just captured by fate
                Bb    F
But I have no choice
                     Bb   C*  D*  Eb
I was just born too late

                 Bb  F            
No I have no choice,   I was just 
         Bb
born too late
