[Verse 1]
E                      D           A
Tried to love like the rest of the world
E                 D      A
A picture perfect romance
E                     D            A          E         D A
I tried directing the play but the lines were all wrong

[Verse 2]
E                   D              A
I tried to make the occasions ring out
E                     D         A
I bought you diamonds and pearls
E                   D               A         E    D A
But the gift that I didn't give was that of myself

[Chorus]
E         D        A
I'm sorry for what I said
E             D        A
Sorry for the things I didn't do
E                     D          A       E        D A
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself

[Verse 3]
E                           D         A
There were times I couldn't hear your side
E                D         A
Or put myself in your place
E               D          A      E      D A
My relationship skills had simply run out

[Verse 4]
E                       D                A
And when our times were good they were good
E                           D       A
And when they were bad they were bad
E                     D            A               E     D A
I tried directing the play but the scenes were all wrong

[Chorus]
E         D        A
I'm sorry for what I said
E             D        A
Sorry for the things I didn't do
E                     D          A       E        D A
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
E                   D          A       E        D A
I'll walk away, but baby, take care of yourself

[Bridge]
D                              E          A
And there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
D                               E    A
To try and keep you here by my side
D                                       E               A
If there's the slightest chance I could change for you
D                                    F#m  A B
Then I'll be here still for the long ride

[Chorus]
E         D        A
I'm sorry for what I said
E             D        A
Sorry for the things I didn't do
E                     D          A       E        D A
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
E         D        A
I'm sorry for what I said
E             D        A
Sorry for the things I didn't do
E                     D          A       E        D A
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
E                   D          A       E        D A
I'll walk away, but baby, take care of yourself
E                     D          A       E        D A
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
