Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Tift Merritt - Too Soon To Go
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: Am D G
Am
Sometimes I hear the song that you are singing
D G
Softly out of tune, in broken lines
Am
I see the truth, the rhythm and the meaning
D G
And the best I'll ever be inside in your eyes
Am
Sometimes you are the dry grass, summer orchids
D G
Sometimes a hawk, lonely in its flight
Am
I don't know where you end and I'm beginning
D G
Are you awake tonight and looking at the sky?
CHORUS:
C
It's too soon to go, it's too soon to go
D G
Stay a little longer, there's so much I need to know
C
Time is a just our small tracks in the falling snow
D G Am D G
It's just too soon for you to go
Am
Sometimes I hear you speak when you're not speaking
D G
Sometimes I feel you hurt, that's when I cry
Am
Your kindness is the conscience running through me
D G
And your easy laughter spills across these lines
CHORUS:
C
It's too soon to go, it's too soon to go
D G
Stay a little longer, there's so much I need to know
C
Time is a just our small tracks in the melting snow
D G Am D G Am D G
It's just too soon for you to go
Am
Sometimes I am just a child of your mercy
D G
Sometimes a woman softly in the night
Am
Sometimes I just don't feel I can keep going
D G
Because of you, I raise myself and try
CHORUS:
C
It's too soon to go, it's too soon to go
D G
Stay a little longer, there's so much we need to know
C
Time is a just our small tracks in the falling snow
D G
It's just too soon for you to go
