Its Late

[Break]
A D            A
   You say you love me

[Verse 1]
      D                    A
And I hardly know your name
D         A                                D
 And if I say I love you in the candlelight
        A
There's no one but myself to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
D           A                       C#                  F#m
But there's something inside that's turning my mind away
D                A
 Oh, how I could love you
    D              A
If I could let you stay
E
It's late

[Chorus]
         A
When I'm bleeding deep inside
E
It's late
           A
Ooh, is it just my sickly pride?
E   D            A
Too late Even now
            E               A
the feeling seems to steal away
E  D
So late
           A
Though I'm crying,
        B                 E
I can't help but hear you say
          A
It's late, it's late, it's late,
        E       A
but not too late

[Break]
D A D            A
     The way you love me

[Verse 2]
   D                       A
Is the sweetest love around
D             A
 But after all this time,
             D
the more I'm trying
    A
The more I seem to let you down

[Pre-Chorus]
D       A                            C#
Now you tell me you're leaving and I just can't believe
         F#m
it's true
   D                    A
Oh, you know that I can love you
         D               A
Though I know I can't be true
D               A
Oh, you made me love you
      D                  A
Don't tell me that we're through
E
It's late

[Chorus]
         A
But it's driving me so mad
E
It's late
Yes, I know,
          A
but don't try to tell me that it's
E   D                  A
Too late Save our love,
          E            A
you can't turn out the lights
E  D                    A
So late I've been wrong,
         B           E
but I'll learn to be right
          A
It's late, it's late, it's late,
        E       A
but not too late

[Bridge 1]
E
 I've been so long, you've been so long
We've been so long trying to work it out
I ain't got long, you ain't got long
                                         F#m C5
We gotta know what this life is all about

G5         A5             B5 E5
  Too late,  much too late

[Verse 3]
A                          D                 A
 You're staring at me with suspicion in your eye
D             A
 You say what game are you playing?
                        D
What's this that you're saying?
  A
I know that I can't reply

[Pre-Chorus]
D    A
If I take you tonight,
      C#                   F#m
is it making my life a lie?
D                A
 Oh, you make me wonder
      E            A
Did I live my life right?
E
It's late

[Chorus]
         A
But it's time to set me free
E
It's late
Ooh yes, I know,
            A
but there's no way it has to be
E   D
Too late
           A             E                A
So let the fire take our bodies this night
E  D
So late
        A               B            E
Let the waters take our guilt in the tide,
now
          A
It's late, it's late, it's late,
D     B
 it's late
          E     C#             F#m
It's late, it's late, it's late

[Break]
D     A
 It's all too late
