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?
