James and the Shame - Sorry

[Intro]
G E7 Am D D7

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

G
But then the integrity
E7
You’d poured deep inside of me
Am/G 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/G 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/G 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/G 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/G 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/G 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
