capo 1
[Chorus]
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am F C G
Should’ve done, should’ve done better
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G Am
For all the time I had to get my life
F C G
To get my life together, but I didn’t
[Verse 1]
Am F
Nineteen niney-three you gave birth to me
C
Sweet little baby girl
G Am
Had the world at my feet
F C G
Before I could even stand
Am
Cradled me in your right
F
And your left hand
C G
A precious bundle of un-made plans
Am F
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
C G
A bright future so it seemed, oh
Am F
But that light grew a little less bright
C G
As I grew up we began to fight
Am F
When I was thirteen I was so damn mean
C G
Running away had nothing more to say
Am
Than I hate you
F C G
But that’s not true now
Am F
I just don’t, I just don’t
C G
I just don’t know how to say
[Chorus]
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am F C G
Should’ve done, should’ve done better
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G Am
For all the time I had, to get my life
F C G
To get my life together, but I didn’t
[Verse]
Am F C G
You never talk about me to your friends
Am F C G
Because you must be so embarrassed
C G
I dropped out of college without any plans
F C
I moved back home I couldn’t even pay rent
Dm
I was living on your couch
C
Trying to figure it out
Bm G*
Cutting myself up, tearing myself down
[Chorus]
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am F C G
Should’ve done, should’ve done better
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G Am
For all the time I had to get my life
F C G
To get my life together, but I didn’t
[Bridge]
Dm
I’m sorry that I couldn’t
C F
Buy you that house upon that hill
G Dm
Or take care of all your medical bills
C
I know I didn’t make you proud
F
I should’ve been someone by now
G
But I never figured out how
Dm
I’m sorry that I couldn’t
C F
Buy you that house upon that hill
G Dm
Or take care of all your medical bills
C
I know I didn’t make you proud
F
I should’ve been someone by now
G
But I never figured out how
[Chorus]
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am F C G
Should’ve done, should’ve done better
Am F
I’m sorry mom and dad
C G Am
For all the time I had to get my life
F C G
To get my life together
[Chorus]
Am* F*
I’m sorry mom and dad
C* G*
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am* F* C* G
Should’ve done, should’ve done better
Am* F*
I’m sorry mom and dad
C* G Am*
For all the time I had to get my life
F* C* G* Am* F*
To get my life together, but I didn’t
