"It's Late", by Ricky Nelson - 1959  

     
[E]It's Late [it's late], we gotta [A]get on [E]home
[E]It's late [it's late], we been [B7]gone too [E]long
[E]Too bad [too bad], we should-a [A]checked our [E]time
[E]Can't phone [can't phone], we done [B7]spent every [E]dime


It's late [it's late], we're `bout to run outta gas  
It's late [it's late], We gotta get home fast
Can't speed [can't speed], we're in a slow down zone
Baby, look at that clock why can't it be wrong

     
Chorus:                        
     		If we could-a [A]left home by a [E]quarter to nine                               
     		[B7]Would-a had fun and [E]plenty of time                      
     		[A]We got started just a [E]little bit late
     		[F#]Hope this won't be [B7]our last date
     
     

Look up [look up], is that the moon we see?      
Can't be [can't be], looks like the sun to me
It's late [it's late], I hate to face your dad
Too bad [too bad], I know he's gonna be mad
It's late [it's late], we gotta get on home 
It's late [it's late], we been gone too long
