Tom: Em
Em
Was it the trick of the light?
G
Or a shot in the dark?
D C
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
Em
Was it something I said?
G
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
D C
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
C
Oh, is it too late?
[Instrumental]
Em G D C
[Verse 1]
Em
Man, all my life I've been
G D C
Searching for someone, to show me how it feels to be loved
C
And how to love somebody back
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
And after stumbling through the years
D C
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night
[Chorus]
Em
Was it the trick of the light?
G
Or a shot in the dark?
D C
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
Em
Was it something you said?
G
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
D C
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
C
Oh, is it too late?
[Verse 2]
Em
See, all my life I've been
G
Silently reaching for
D C
A hand to hold, to warm the cold. Spark a light,
C
To guide me through, alright?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
And after stumbling through the years
D C
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night
[Chorus]
Em
Was it the trick of the light?
G
Or a shot in the dark?
D C
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
Em
Was it something we did?
G
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
D C
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
[Interlude]
Em G
Hey, hey
D C
Hey, hey
Em G
Hey, hey
D C
Hey, hey
[Bridge]
Em
Was it a knife in my back?
G
Or a fork in the road?
D C
Was it hell or high water that left us alone?
Em
Is it really game over?
G
Is it really checkmate?
D C
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
C
Oh, is it too late?
Em G D C
Em G D C
[Outro]
Em
Was it the trick of the light?
G
Or a shot in the dark?
D C
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
