Intro: D Gbm Gmaj7 A6
 
Verse 1:
D
I got the good side of things,
Gbm
Left you with both of the rings,
Gmaj7
My fingers danced,
And swayed in the breeze,
    A6
The change in the wind took you down to your knees
 

D
I got the good side of you,
Gbm
Sent it out into the blue,
Gmaj7
The people danced,
To the sound of your heart,
    A6
The world sang along to it falling apart
 
Chorus:
     D
But I sympathise,
     Gbm
And I recognise,
             Gmaj7
And baby, I apologise,
               A6
That I got the good side,
                 D
The good side of things
 
Interlude: Gbm Gmaj7 A6
 
Verse 2:
D
I got the good side of life,
Gbm
Travelled the universe twice,
Gmaj7
So many thoughts I wanted to share,
   A6
But I didn’t call because it wouldn’t be fair
 

     D
Then I got the good side of new,
Gbm
Found arms to fall right into,
 Gmaj7
I know how it looked, It wasn’t the plan,
    A6
And someday I hope that you’ll understand,
 
Chorus:
      D
That I sympathise,
     Gbm
And I recognise,
             Gmaj7
And baby, I apologise,
               A6
That I got the good side,
                 D
The good side of things
 
Interlude:
D         Bm7
Ooh...Ooh-ooh...
Gmaj7  A6
Oooh...
 
Verse 3:
D
I’m sure we’ll meet in the spring,
    Gbm
And catch up on everything,
Gmaj7
I’ll say I’m proud of all that you’ve done,
    A6
You taught me the ropes, and you taught me to love
 
Chorus:
     D
But I sympathise,
     Gbm
And I recognise,
             Gmaj7
And baby, I apologise,
               A6
That I got the good side,
                 D
The good side of things
 
Outro:
D
  Sympathise,
Gbm
  Recognise,
Gmaj7
  Apologise,
(nc)
That I got the good side,
(nc)
The good side of things
