An Apology chords by Phemiec

[Intro]

D C F Eb F C


[Verse]

D                            C
Once upon a time a stutter disgusted me
Eb                                    F            C       D
muttered distrust at me, pity you couldn’t fly
D                            C
I’ve only ever taken what’s mine
Eb                                    F             C
So what if I help you, I’m helping myself, too?

[Verse]

D                            C
Twice I got the wind knocked out of me, why?
Eb                                                F                 C
Just to curl up and die? No, I’ve got too much pride.
    D                         C
So I breathe it in then let it out slow,
       Eb                              F            C
When I turn to go, find you falling behind.


[Chorus]

 Gm      Bb  Dm                 C      Gm
I fought for every last inch that I got
Bb  Dm                  C          Gm
Forgive me for leaving my spot
Bb  Dm              C                Gm           Bb
Not standing in w8 while you finish the race
                 Dm                                D
with those two broken legs you’ve got.


D                       F
One thing’s for sure…
              Gm               Bb                      D
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
D          C      D
I never have before.
                Bb                       Dm                              Gm
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you,
                         F
you’d thank me!


[Bridge]

                                     Bb              C                         F
You’d get down on one knee, no matter how much it hurt
      Eb                 Bb              C                         F      Eb
And you would say “I’m sorry”, but I would say it first…


[Verse]

D                                     C
Once, the two of us were eye for an eye
              Eb                   F                      C    D
Now I’ve given up trying how could I be so blind?
D                           C
You’ll never let me settle the score
   Eb                                        F             C
To you I’m the scourge, not the partner in crime


[Chorus]

Gm      Bb  Dm                 C      Gm
I fought for every last one of you schmucks!
Bb  Dm                  C          Gm
I might as well have saved my luck
Bb  Dm              C                Gm           Bb
Not wasted it all on some shortsighted, know-it-all
                 Dm                                D
so-called friends, you’re not.

D                       F
One thing’s for sure…
              Gm               Bb                      D
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
D          C      D
I never have before.
                Bb                       Dm                              Gm
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you,
                         F
you’d thank me!


[Bridge]

                            Bb              C                         F
You’d find me in a dream, on some uncharted map
   Eb                 Bb              C                                  F      Eb
And I would say I’m sorry, and you would want me back…


[Outro]

D                                     C                                  Eb
Once the world was just a web and a spider, and so was I.
   F            C         D
A liar in a dress of white.
