[Verse 1]

C        F      G        C           F     G
  I want you to hold me, I want your arms around me
C        F      G    C   F G 
  I want you to hold me, baby
C            F        G       C       F        G

  Did you do too many drugs too, baby?

You were born too late, I was born too soon
    F                         G 
But every time I look at that ugly moon
                 C    F                  C 
It reminds me of you,   it reminds me of you

C                   F       G      C                     F      G
  They didn't like American Music,    they never heard American Music
C                      F         G     C     F G
  They didn't know the music was in my soul, baby


[Chorus]

         Am                   E
You were born too soon, I was born too late
    F                         G                        
But every time I look at that ugly lake,
