Verse 1:
G D/F#
I told lies to your family concerning your whereabouts
Am C
They feel so sorry for me
G D/F#
I invented jealous stories, my imagination ran wild
Am C
I made myself so angry
G D/F#
The night that you insulted me I lay awake thinkin'
Am C
Clever things I could have said
G D/F#
My thoughts kept a-turning to Bobby Peru
Am C
How would he handle this one?
Chorus:
G D
'S' is for sorry for all that I did
Am C
Now is the time to turn it all around
G D
I know what's the matter, so why can't I fix it?
Am C
Forgive me please

I had lunch with an old girlfriend who knows all my faults

She said I really don't mind your keeping secrets from me
Am C
But please don't keep them from yourself
G D/F#
Murder is bad, and suicide is sad
Am C
Why would a girl like that put her head in the oven?
G D/F#
You have your theories, and I have one too
C/D C
It's such a waste
Chorus:
G D
'S' is for sorry for all that I did

Forgive me, please
