Intro 
G  Em  D/F# (x 2) 

verse 1 
            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 


[Refrão]
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 

verse 2 
       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 

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


[Refrão]
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 

Solo 
G  Em  D/F# (x4) 

Pre-Chorus 
C          D 
From a turntable to a phone 
C                 D         B7 
From a revolution to a ring tone 

Instrumental 
Em  D/F#  C (x2)

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
