Late Bloomer

            G                  Em      D/F#  G  Em  D/F#
It's just a stone's throw from here to eternity
G                  Em         D/F#    G  Em  D/F#
From the back road to where I long to be
    G                         Em       D/F#    G  Em  D/F#
The world has changed leaving only the truth intact
    G                     Em          D/F#      G  Em  D/F#
You think it's a game, to me it means more than that

Am             D                   C
But I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner
         D                  Am
And I've turned the record over
           D                     C
I'm a long player, my song is my savior
            D        B7
I've got to raise it up
   Em        D/F#       C
As far as my spirit can reach
                    G  Em  D/F# (x2)
That everyone might see

       G          Em           D/F#        G  Em  D/F#
Within earshot of rose colored dreamers at best
        G                            Em         D/F#  G  Em  D/F#
I don't mean to eavesdrop, it's just part of my job I guess
   G               Em             D/F#     G  Em  D/F#
At one glance they don't know the truth by half
       G                       Em          D/F#     G  Em  D/F#
How announcing your plans is a sure way to hear god laugh

C           D
Like a crab apple on the tree
C                      D           B7
They'll find life more bitter than sweet

Am             D                   C
But I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner
         D               Am
And I've heard the penny drop
Am          D                  C
I'm a small player with a tall order
        D      B7
To come out on top
Em          D/F#       C
And without selling my soul
                    G    Em   D/F#       G  Em  D/F#
That everyone might know that I'm a late bloomer

G  Em  D/F# (x4)

C          D
From a turntable to a phone
C                 D         B7
From a revolution to a ring tone

Em  D/F#  C (x2)

Am             D                   C
But I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner
         D                  Am
And I've turned the record over
           D                     C
I'm a long player, my song is my savior
       D
Got to raise it up, ooh
Am         D                   C
I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner
         D               Am
And I've heard the penny drop
            D                  C
I'm a small player with a tall order
        D      B7
To come out on top
Em          D/F#       C
And without selling my soul
                    G  Em  D/F#
That's how a flower grows
               G  Em  D/F#
And I'm a late bloomer
      G    Em  D/F#
I'm a late bloomer
           G  Em  D/F#  G
I'm a late bloomer
