                               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? 

( Em  G  D  C ) 

Verso 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 

Pré-Refrão
Em                              G 
And after stumbling through the years 
                               D                           C 
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night 

 
                               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? 

Verso 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?

Or a fork in the road? 
                         D                    C 
Was it hell or high water that left us alone?
