Chorus:
          Bbm      Gb
I’m sorry mom and dad
            Db         Ab
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Bbm               Gb                 Db   Ab
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Bbm      Gb
I’m sorry mom and dad
            Db      Ab      Bbm
For all the time I had to get my life
   Gb             Db             Ab
To get my life together, but I didn’t

Verse:
Bbm                   Gb
Nineteen niney-three you gave birth to me
Db
Sweet little baby girl
Ab                     Bbm
Had the world at my feet
       Gb            Db    Ab
Before I could even stand
           Bbm
Cradled me in your right
    Gb
And your left hand
  Db                  Ab
a precious bundle of un-made plans
Bbm                  Gb
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
         Db            Ab
a bright future so it seemed, oh
         Bbm                       Gb
But that light grew a little less bright
          Db              Ab
As I grew up we began to fight
               Bbm                 Gb
When I was thirteen I was so damn mean
          Db                       Ab
Running away had nothing more to say
              Bbm
Than I hate you
           Gb        Db   Ab
But that’s not true now
       Bbm               Gb
I just don’t, I just don’t
                  Db        Ab
I just don’t know how to say

Chorus:
          Bbm      Gb
I’m sorry mom and dad
            Db         Ab
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Bbm               Gb                 Db   Ab
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Bbm      Gb
I’m sorry mom and dad
            Db      Ab       Bbm
For all the time I had, to get my life
   Gb             Db             Ab
To get my life together, but I didn’t

Verse:
Bbm               Gb                Db      Ab
  You never talk about me to your friends
Bbm            Gb            Db        Ab
  Because you must be so embarrassed
                 Db                   Ab
I dropped out of college without any plans
             Gb                        Db
I moved back home I couldn’t even pay rent
      Ebm
I was living on your couch
          Db
Trying to figure it out
        Cm                 Ab
Cutting myself up, tearing myself down

Chorus:
          Bbm      Gb
I’m sorry mom and dad
            Db         Ab
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Bbm               Gb                 Db   Ab
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Bbm      Gb
I’m sorry mom and dad
            Db       Ab     Bbm
For all the time I had to get my life
   Gb             Db             Ab
To get my life together, but I didn’t

Bridge:
Ebm
  I’m sorry that I couldn’t
    Db                        Gb
Buy you that house upon that hill
                         Ab            Ebm
Or take care of all your medical bills
                         Db
I know I didn’t make you proud
                            Gb
I should’ve been someone by now
                    Ab
But I never figured out how


Ebm

I know I didn’t make you proud
                            Gb
I should’ve been someone by now
                    Ab
But I never figured out how

To get my life together, but I didn’t
