1. They call me the apologist, and now that I'm at peak,
          a      G        a      G        a     G           a     - G
    you know at first it really hurt, we joke about these things.
           a      G      a       G        a       G      a     - G
    I've skirted all my differences, but now I'm facing up.
       a      G   a   G        a     G      a   - G
    I wanted to apologize for everything I was.       So...

C               D             F             G
    I'm sorry,     so sorry,     so sorry,     so sorry ,
C               D             F              ~
    so sorry,      so sorry,     so sorry.

    a       G     a       G          a      G        a     - G
2. Did you understand me right? The people here are good,
          a        G      a          G         a      G     a     - G
    they tell me what I should have done, and offer what I could.
    a   G     a      G     a     G     a      G
   I'm good, all is good, all's well, no complaints.
      a     G       a    G      a        G      a         G
    When I feel regret,      I get down on my knees and pray.

C               D             F             G
    I'm sorry,     so sorry,     so sorry,     so sorry ,
C               D             F                        
    so sorry,      so sorry,     so sorry,      so sorry !

C             D            F                 G
    I live a simple life,     unfettered by complex sweets.
          C               D             F 
    You think this isn't me?  Don't be weak, there I go.

    I'm so sorry.
