     A minorAm   FF
I’m sorry mom and dad
      C majorC     G+G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve

Verse 1:

A minorAm          FF
Nineteen niney-three you gave birth to me
C majorC
Sweet little baby girl
G+G           A minorAm
Had the world at my feet
    FF      C majorC  G+G
Before I could even stand
      A minorAm
Cradled me in your right
  FF
And your left hand
 C majorC         G+G
A augmentedA precious bundle of un-made plans
A minorAm         FF
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
     C majorC      G+G
A augmentedA bright future so it seemed, oh
     A minorAm            FF
But that light grew a little less bright
     C majorC       G+G
As I grew up we began to fight
        A minorAm         FF
When I was thirteen I was so damn mean
     C majorC            G+G
Running away had nothing more to say
        A minorAm
Than I hate you
      FF    C majorC  G+G
But that’s not true now
    A minorAm        FF
I just don’t, I just don’t
         C majorC    G+G
I just don’t know how to say

I’m sorry mom and dad
      C majorC   G+G    A minorAm
For all the time I had, to get my life

To get my life together, but I didn’t

A minorAm        FF        C majorC   G+G
 You never talk about me to your friends
A minorAm      FF      C majorC    G+G
 Because you must be so embarrassed
         C majorC          G+G
I dropped out of college without any plans
       FF            C majorC
I moved back home I couldn’t even pay rent
   DmDm
I was living on your couch
     C majorC
Trying to figure it out

Cutting myself up, tearing myself down

      C majorC    G+G   A minorAm
For all the time I had to get my life
  FF       C majorC       G+G
To get my life together, but I didn’t

 I’m sorry that I couldn’t
  C majorC            FF
Buy you that house upon that hill
             G+G      DmDm
Or take care of all your medical bills
             C majorC

              FF
I should’ve been someone by now

But I never figured out how
