[Verse 1]
A              E
  I've been so long in waiting
G            D
  Putting my life on hold for
F              G           A
This chance to live out my dreams
              E
You think you know what I should
G             D                  F
  Do with the choices that I now have
          G
Make them benefit you
 
 
[Chorus]
A       E       G                D
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
A          E        G           D
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
A        E       G
You want in with me
              D
Now that it's good
F           G          A
But its too little too late
 
 
[Verse 2]
         E
Time and again I've asked you,
G               D                 F
  Just for some light to show the way
         G         A
I was in total darkness
               E
You act like I owe you something
G                 D                      F
  But I don't owe anything to anyone but me
         G
Have you no dignity?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
A       E       G                D
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
A          E        G           D
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
A        E       G
You want in with me
              D
Now that it's good
F              G
Where were you yesterday?
A       E       G                D
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
A          E        G           D
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
A        E       G
You want in with me
              D
Now that it's good
F            G          E
But it's too little too late
         E
Your too late

[Bridge]
A         E           D                C      G        F
  I know exactly what I'll do with the advice that you gave
         G
Watch me throw it all away
 
 
[Chorus 3]
A       E       G                D
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
A          E        G           D
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
A        E       G
You want in with me
              D
Now that it's good
F              G
Where were you yesterday?
A       E       G                D
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
A          E        G           N.C.
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
A        E       G
You want in with me
              D
Now that it's good
F            G          D
But it's too little too late
F            G          D
But it's too little too late
F            G          A
But it's too little too late
