[Verse 1]
F Em Dm C F C Dm Dm
Sugar water to the brim, they told me it’d be spring
F Em Dm C F C Dm Dm
Early Sep-tember and my first glimpse of tiny wings
F Em Dm C F C Dm Dm
Summer’s coming to an end, mag-nolias are in bloom
F C G Am F C Dm Dm
Well Birming-ham this time of year is giving me hope, too
F C Dm Dm
Giving me hope, too
[Chorus]
C E F
I’m a late bloo-mer
(Ooh - ooh - ooh)
C E F
I’m a late bloo-mer
(Ooh - ooh - ooh)
C E F
This is surely true Ooh-ooh-ooh
F Fm
It doesn’t matter when you bloom

It matters that you do
Em Dm
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
F Em G G G G
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
F Em Dm C F C Dm Dm
Keeping track and counting down, again I’m over due
F Em Dm C F C Dm Dm
Watching everyone around get there before I do
F Em Dm C F C Dm Dm
Looking in the mirror at this body that betrays
F C G Am F C Dm Dm
But looking out the window, late bloomers on parade
F C G G
Late bloomers on parade
[Chorus]
C E F
I’m a late bloo-mer
(Ooh - ooh - ooh)

I’m a late bloo-mer
