This is the chord progression of Hell Or High Water by The Passenger on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.

[Chorus]
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?

[Instrumental]
Em G D C

[Verse 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                                                                G
And after stumbling through the years
D                                                                                     C
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
Em
See, all my life I\’ve been
G
Silently reaching for
D                                                                C
A hand to hold to warm the colder sparkle lights
C
To guide me through, alright?

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                                                                G
And after stumbling through the years
D                                                                                     C
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night

[Chorus]
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?

[Interlude]
Em       G
Hey, hey
D           C
Hey, hey
Em        G
Hey, hey
D            C
Hey, hey

[Bridge]
Em
Was it a knife in my back?
G
Or a fork in the road?
D                                                                C
Was it hell or high water that left us alone?
Em
Is it really game over?
G
Is it really checkmate?
D                                                     C
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
C
Oh, is it too late?
Em G D C
Em G D C

[Outro]
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?
