Chorus:

*=Strum once

            Am*
Was it the trick of the light?
            C*
Or a shot in the dark?
           G*          F*
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
            Am
Was it something I said?
              C*
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
           G*          F*
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?

Oh, is it too late?

Verse 1:
Am             C
Well, all my life I've been
           G               F
Searching for someone, to show me how it feels to be loved
               Am
And how to love somebody back

And after stumbling through the years
C                G             F
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night


Chorus:
            Am
Was it the trick of the light?
            C
Or a shot in the dark?
           G           F
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
            Am
Was it something you said?
              C
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
           D          F
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?


Verse 2:
Am             C
See, all my life I've been

Silently reaching for
G                F
A hand to hold to warm the cold, a spark of light
              Am
To guide me through alright

And after stumbling through the years
C               G              F
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night


Chorus:
            Am
Was it the trick of the light?
           C
Or a shot in the dark?
           G          F
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
           Am
Was it something we did?
              C
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
           G          F
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?

Am C G F
 Hey, hey
Am C G F
Hey, hey


Chorus:
            Am
Was it a knife in my back?
           C
Or a fork in the road?
           G          F
Was it hell or high water that left us alone?
           Am
Is it really game over?
          C
Is it really checkmate?
           G           F
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
         Am
Oh, is it too late?

C G F

Am C G F


Outro:
               Am
Was it the trick of the light?
           C
Or a shot in the dark?
            G           F
Was it hell or high water that broke our heart?
