So now there's somebody new;
F G Em7 Esus4 Em7 Am
These dreams I've been dreaming have all fall - en through.

You say I'll be fine, it on - ly takes time --
Dm7 D7/9 Dm7 D7/9 G/B G5
Some - day that may be true,
A7alt Dm7 C A7 E7 Fdim E7 Asus4 Am C7
But it's too soon to tell, ah, it's too soon to say.
F A7 Em7 Esus4 A7/9
Maybe some day I'll be able to wish you well,
A D7/9 G6 Dm7 G6 Fm7 Bb9 C A-9 A
But right now it's just too soon to tell.
F Fdim C A-9 A
It's all for the best, so you say

You never intended to hurt me this way
F Fdim C C9 C Bb7 A7
You want to hear I won't drown in my tears
Dm7 D7/9 Dm7 D7/9 G/B G5
Well, ba - by the best that I can say
A7alt Dm7 C A7 E7 Fdim E7 Asus4 Am C7
But it's too soon to tell, ah, it's too soon to say.
F A7 Em7 Esus4 A7/9
Maybe some day I'll be able to wish you well,
A D7/9 G6 Dm7 G6 Fm7 Bb9 C A-9 A
But right now it's just too soon to tell,

Ah, right now, it's just too soon to tell.

While this one is 'way too current to truly qualify as a "pop standard" -- and it isn't even "pop" when you get down to it -- a recent visitor put me on to this song, and it just sort of crawled inside my head and refused to leave.
