[Verse 1]
A                   D                  A
Just two words were all that she would ask of me
    A                D                A
And I could have the world and all it holds for me
   A
Of love
           D            A            E7
and tender care not the pain and the sorrow
          D          A
That will be mine tomorrow
      E7                 A
but I just can't seem to say it
G     A
  I'm sorry


[Chorus]
        A7            D
I know exactly what I should do
          A                      E7
Admit I'm wrong it wouldn't take long
             A
And she'd forgive me
A7                          D
  And I know exactly what I ought to say
            A
but I'm not built that way
          E7
Wish that I could say
G     A
  I'm sorry

[Verse 2]
A              D                   A
I'm a man   at least that's what I like to think
  A                D               A
A stubborn man who now is standing on the brink
   A
Of pain
       D          A            E7
and despair and I care and I'm sorry
    D          A
And I ought to tell her
      E7                 A
but I just can't seem to say it
G     A
  I'm sorry


[Chorus]
         A7           D
I know exactly what I should do
          A                 E7
But I'm a fool I guess I'll do
                A
the things that fools do
A7                                  D
  I'll stand and watch my dreams go down the drain
      A
in my stubborn way
            E7
And as they sink I'll say
G     A
  I'm sorry
