Verse 1:
1
I'm holding on your rope,
2 3 4
Got me ten feet off the ground
1 2 3 4
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
1
You tell me that you need me
2 3 4
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
1
You tell me that you're sorry
2 3 4
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
Chorus 1:
1 ^ 2 ^ 3 4
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
1 ^ 2 ^ 3 4
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Verse 2:
1 2
I'd take another chance, take a fall
3 4
Take a shot for you
1 2
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
3 4
But it's nothin new
1 2
I loved you with a fire red-
3 4
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
1 2 3
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
4 (strum once and hold)
But I'm afraid... ^
Chorus 2:
1 ^ 2 ^ 3 4
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
1 ^ 2 ^ 3 4 ^
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
1 ^ 2 ^ 3 4
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
1 ^ 2 ^ 3 4
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late... ^
Fade...

There's already good tabs of this song on the site, but this is how I prefer to play it solo on the guitar.
Standard Tuning, Capo on 3rd Fingerpicked - but should be easy with any plectrum (pick).
