[Verse]

D/A             A
    You say you love me
      D/A              A
And I hardly know your name
D/A          A                              D/A
    And if I say I love you in the candlelight
        A                          D/A
There's no one but myself to blame
            A
But there's something inside
       C#7sus4    C#7     F#m F#m/E
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/C#           B7                E7
So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say
       A         Amaj7     D/A
It's late it's late it's late
    Esus4 E      A
But not   too late

[Verse]

            A
The way you love me
       D/A           A
Is the sweetest love around
D/A           A
    But after all this time
             D/A
The more I'm trying
    A
The more I seem to let you down
D/A         A
    Now you tell me you're leaving
      C#7sus4      C#7        F#m  F#m/E
And I just can't believe it's true
D                      A
Oh you know that I can love you
         D/A             A
Though I know I can't be true
D/F#           A 
Oh you make me love you
      E7                 A
Don't tell me that we're through

[Chorus]

     E               A
It's late - but it's driving me so mad
     E                           A
It's late - yes I know but don't try to tell me that it's
E   D               A              E7           A
Too late - save our love you can't turn out the lights
E  D                A/C#           B7          E7
So late - I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right
       A         Amaj7     D/A
It's late it's late it's late
    Esus4 E      A
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/A               E
We gotta know what this life is all about

  Too late    much too late

[Verse]

A                   
  You're staring at me
        D/A              A
With suspicion in your eye
D/A              A
    You say what game are you playing?
                        D/A
What's this that you're saying?
  A                       D/A
I know that I can't reply
     A
If I take you tonight
      C#7sus4   C#7    F#m F#m/E
Is it making my life a lie?
D                 A
   Oh you make me wonder
      E7           A
Did I live my life alright?

[Chorus]

     E               A
It's late - but it's time to set me free
     E                                A
It's late - yes I know but there's no way it has to be
E   D                 A             E             A
Too late - so let the fire take our bodies this night
E  D                 A/C#            B7            E7
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
