THE SONG

remove these ads
Intro: G E7 Am D D7

Verse 1:
G
I never set out to do
E7
Something to disappoint you
Am                       D7
Approval was sorta my thing
G
Took your book and made it mine
E7
Never colored outside the lines
Am                              D7
And made my own peace with the king


G
But then the integrity
E7
You'd poured deep inside of me
Am                            D7
Started to burn a hole in my heart
G
I grabbed on that scarlet thread
E7
And pulled 'til there was nothing left
Am                           D7
And then my whole world fell apart

Chorus:
Am                D
You did nothing  wrong
Am                D
And I did nothing wrong
C           Bm          Am                       D
So why do I feel like I need to say sorry in a song

Verse 2:
G
I know you cry for me
E7
And my eternal destiny
Am                                  D7
And I wish that I could put you at ease
G
But that old undying truth
E7
Says that I won't join you
Am                              D7
Because I could not hold to the creed
G
I'm not trying to change your mind
E7
And I don't think you're gonna change mine
Am                                 E7
So we'll keep dancing to different tunes


G
Paul said that right from the start
E7
I'd reject it in my heart
Am                            D7
But I know you still feel I rejected you

Chorus:
Am                D
You did nothing  wrong
Am                D
And I did nothing wrong
C           Bm          Am                       D
So why do I feel like I need to say sorry in a song
C           Bm          Am                       G
So why do I feel like I need to say sorry in a song
