D      G
Well I have to wonder
D         G
About the stars I'm under
D        G                   A     Em  G
How they won't make up their minds
D      G
And if this ain't dreamin'
D      G
Then I might run screamin'
D      G                 A
To the nearest comprimise
Em          G
There's one thing I know

D        G   D            G
It's too slow and don't I know
D        G                          A
And if I don't get there, don't you say
               Em A
"I told you so, I told you so"

Here's a frank admission
I'm in no position
To be telling you all your crimes
But if I must blame someone
For what's been left undone
Then I might find I'm the first in line.

It's too slow and don't I know
And if I don't get there, don't you say
"I told you so, I told you so"

It's too slow and don't I know
And if I don't get there, don't you say
"I told you so, I told you so"
A       Em      G
I don't want to hear it
A           Em     G
Coz I can't keep a secret
A            Em
I'll let the whole world know

D  G  [three times]
A  Em  G

But at least I'm moving
Things might start improving
Or else I might learn to improvise
But if it makes a difference
I will go the distance
Even if I don't win first prize

It's too slow and don't I know
And if I don't get there, don't you say
"I told you so, I told you so"
