D Em C G

[Verse]
D                                Em
A promise is just a truth til it makes someone a liar
C                                 G
Seldom all the honor till they're held against the fire
D                         Em
Forgivness is a luxury we seldom can't afford
C                                   G
Until the cost is greater, of which cannot be ignored

[Chorus]
D                        Em
I didn't mean to let you down
C                     G
I didn't mean you any harm
D                  Em
All I needed was a friend
C                           G
I didn't mean to break your heart

[Verse]
  D                                     Em
A diamond is just some coal that's been beaten to the ground
         C                            G
Till its picked up by a man so he can kick some hearts around
  D                            Em
A tear is just a drop of water fallin from the sky
        C                                              G
Till it quenches someones thirst, only then, can it be cried

[Chorus]
D                        Em
I didn't mean to let you down
C                     G
I didn't mean you any harm
D                  Em
All I needed was a friend
C                           G
I didn't mean to break your heart

[Verse]
  D                            Em
A rock is just a rock until it rolls on down the road
          C                                 G
And if it doesn't gather moss then it might be a rollin stone
D                               Em
Dust is just some dirt till its picked up by the wind
     C                                      G
If it blows around the world, then it might make it back again

[Chorus]
D                        Em
I didn't mean to let you down
C                     G
I didn't mean you any harm
D                  Em
All I needed was a friend
C                           G
I didn't mean to break your heart

[Verse]
D                          Em
Luck is just a pencil lyin broken at my feet
       C                      G
Till I picked it up, then its journey was complete
        D
Will it give me one last letter?
        Em
Will it write you one more song?
C                                   G
Or is it just some lead & wood, the magic all but gone

[Chorus]
D                        Em
I didn't mean to let you down
C                     G
I didn't mean you any harm
D                  Em
All I needed was a friend
C                           G
I didn't mean to break your heart
C                            G
I didn't mean to break your heart
C                           G
I didn't mean to break your heart
