An Apology Cifras

[Intro]
 
D C F Eb F C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
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 by helping you, I’m helping myself, too?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
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... I breathe it in then let it out slow
     Eb                     F          C
When I turn to go, find you trailing 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 wait 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                F
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you,
 
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 3]
 
D                        C
Once, the two of us were eye for an eye
         Eb               F           C     D
Now I’ve given in trying, how could I be so blind?
                    D          C
You’ll never let me settle the score
   Eb                     F          C
To you I’m a scourge, not 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                F
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you,
 
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
