One Promise Too Late

One Promise Too Late
as recorded by Reba McEntire

C            G         F
I would have waited forever
        C                  Am
if I'd known that you'd be here.
F             C                G
We could have shared our lives together
    Dm         F          G               G7
and held each other close all through the years.
But I met someone before you
and my heart just wouldn't wait,
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind this promise that I made.
CHORUS:
           Am  F                 C
Where were you when I could have loved you?
           Am         F             G  G7
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
       F     G          Am         F
All my life, I've been dreaming of you
           C       G           Am F
You came along one promise too late
           C       G           C
You came along one promise too late.
        (INSTRUMENTAL)
BRIDGE:
Em                   Am
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you.
Em                     F           G      G7
I can't have you but I never will forget you.
Where were you when I could have loved you?
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you.
You came along one promise too late.
You came along one promise too late.
(Repeat)
Notes:  Reba sings in another key (I think E)
        Capo up 4
        I got the lyrics from the lyric server &
        changed 'em some
        Andy Fedley helped me work out the chords
