I'm Sorry

Words & Music:

John Denver

 

     C                C7       F

It's cold here in the city, it always seems that way.

    G                                   C

And I've been thinking about you almost every day.

C                              F

Thinking about the good times, thinking about the rain,

G                                C        C7

Thinking about how bad it feels alone again.

    F             G                 C   C7

I'm sorry for the way things are in China,

    F                  G                 C  C7

I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be.

    F                  G         C     Em    Am  F

But more than anything else, I'm sorry for myself

                  C

'Cause you're not here with me.

 

Our friends all ask about you, and I say you're doin' fine.

I expect to hear from you almost any time.

They all know I'm crying, I can't sleep at night,

They all know I'm dying down deep inside.

I'm sorry for all the lies I told you,

I'm sorry for the things I didn't say.

More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself.

I can't believe you anyway.

 

C   F   G   C   C7

Mmmmm-------------

 

I'm sorry if I took some things for granted,

I'm sorry for the things I put on you.

More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself,

Living without you.

 

C   F   G   C

Mmmmm--------
