Turns out the lyrics are online: https://www.jiosaavn.com/lyrics/years-too-late-lyrics/FwIKfi5Db0Q - Surprised it took this long to find
This version is a bit different from the OP's version - Wonder if their version is the demo

The chippy "original", heard in a 1986 surfing game (hardly fitting, much better composed than arranged there, and the bass even sounds out of sync at 0:21; rather doubtful it'd be an original for the game).

I manually transcribed all original data in Anvil Studio (MIDI), deleted a duplicate note at 0:21 so it's in sync, and tied all equal notes (sounds more right if you ask me; then again, who knows? :-)

I replaced arpeggios by chords (partly a logical, partly a creative process). Might be even more right (chords do not fit into such old chips, they were often changed into arpeggios).
