You say you love me<br>
 +
And I hardly know your name<br>
 +
And if I say I love you in the candlelight<br>
 +
There's no-one but myself to blame<br>
 +
But there's something inside<br>
 +
That's turning my mind away<br>
 +
Oh how I could love you<br>
 +
If I could let you stay<br>
 +
<br>
 +
It's late, but I'm bleeding deep inside<br>
 +
It's late, is it just my sickly pride?<br>
 +
Too late, even now the feeling seems to steal away<br>
 +
So late, though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say<br>
 +
It's late it's late it's late<br>
 +
But not too late<br>
 +
<br>
 +
The way you love me<br>
 +
Is the sweetest love around<br>
 +
But after all this time<br>
 +
The more I'm trying<br>
 +
The more I seem to let you down<br>
 +
Now you tell me you're leaving<br>
 +
And I just can't believe it's true<br>
 +
Oh you know that I can love you<br>
 +
Though I know I can't be true<br>
 +
Oh you made me love you<br>
 +
Don't tell me that we're through<br>
 +
<br>
 +
It's late, but it's driving me so mad<br>
 +
It's late, yes I know but don't try to tell me that it's<br>
 +
Too late, save our love you can't turn out the lights<br>
 +
So late, I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right<br>
 +
It's late it's late it's late<br>
 +
But not too late<br>
 +
<br>
 +
I've been so long<br>
 +
You've been so long<br>
 +
We've been so long trying to work it out<br>
 +
I ain't got long<br>
 +
You ain't got long<br>
 +
We gotta know what this life is all about<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Too late much too late<br>
 +
You're staring at me<br>
 +
With suspicion in your eye<br>
 +
You say what game are you playing?<br>
 +
What's this that you're saying?<br>
 +
I know that I can't reply<br>
 +
If I take you tonight<br>
 +
Is it making my life a lie?<br>
 +
Oh you make me wonder<br>

Did I live my life alright?<br>

<br>

It's late, but it's time to set me free<br>

It's late, yes I know but there's no way it has to be<br>

Too late, so let the fire take our bodies this night<br>

So late, so let the waters take our guilt in the tide<br>

Queen Talks

Brian May, 1983, Guitar Greats, BBC Radio One

Yes there was a kind of ‘Queen’ Sound in there somewhere. I don’t know if it’s there so much but I suppose in something like ‘Play the Game’ it’s still there really. The thing is, it’s so easy for us to do, it’s something, which we slip into almost without thinking, on stage or on record. Once Freddie starts playing in E þ and A þ, which he very often does, it has that particular sound and of course it’s very difficult for a guitarist to play in Eþ and Aþ. They’re just the keys you don’t want to be playing in, naturally, so the fact that those songs are played in those keys brings something different out of me. There are certain kinds of shapes, which I can use, that don’t use any open strings and are sometimes a bit painful to get together. But as soon as that’s happening that sort of formula is there and we can do it all night and all day. It’s that sort of Queen ‘Sound’ yeah!

Lyrics

You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
There's no-one but myself to blame
But there's something inside
That's turning my mind away
Oh how I could love you
If I could let you stay

It's late, but I'm bleeding deep inside
It's late, is it just my sickly pride?
Too late, even now the feeling seems to steal away
So late, though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say
It's late it's late it's late
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

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

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
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 alright?

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
It's late it's late it's late it's late
It's late it's late
It's all too late
