 D           A
You say you love me
       D                A
And I hardly know your name
 D        A                            D 
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
         A                         D 
There's no one but myself to blame
             A
But there's something inside
       C#7sus4    C#7    F#m  F#m 
That's turning my mind away
D               A
Oh how I could love you
   E7                A
If I could let you stay

Chorus:
      E               A
It's late - but I'm bleeding deep inside
      E            A
It's late - is it just my sickly pride?
 E   D           A               E               A
Too late - even now the feeling seems to steal away
 E  D                  A             B7                E7
So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say
      A        Amaj7       D 
It's late it's late it's late
    Esus4 E   A
But not  too late

The way you love me
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this time, the more I'm trying
The more I seem to let you down
Now you tell me you're leaving
And I just can't believe it's true
Oh, you know that I can love you
Though I know I can't be true
Oh, you made me love you
Don't tell me that we're through

Chorus:
It's late - but it's driving me so mad
It's late - yes I know but don't try to tell me that it's
Too late - save our love you can't turn out the lights
So late - I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right
It's late it's late it's late
But not too late

E7              A
I've been so long
E7                A
You've been so long
E7                A  E7                  A
We've been so long tryin' to work it out
E7             A
I ain't got long
E7               A
You ain't got long
 E         A        D                 E
We gotta know what this life is all about
Too late much too late

You're staring at me
With suspicion in your eye
You say what game are you playing?
What's this that you're saying?
I know that I can't reply
If I take you tonight
Is it making my life a lie?
Oh, you make me wonder
Did I live my life right?

Chorus:
It's late - but it's time to set me free
It's late - yes I know but there's no way it has to be
Too late - so let the fire take our bodies this night
So late - so let the waters take our guilt in the tide
      A         Amaj7     D         B7
It's late it's late it's late it's late
      E         C#7       F#m   D
It's late it's late it's late
     A
It's all too late
