Tom: G

G               G7         C
I’m afraid of tomorrow and ashamed of today

    D7                                              G
For I just stood there like a fool and let you walk away

                              G7                  C
I held my ground right when I should’a been on my knees

  D7                                             G
I said goodbye right when I should’a been saying please


               G7             C
Forgive me for giving you the blues

D7                           G
Didn’t mean to be so mean to you

               G7          C
I’ve been so unaware about showing how I care

   D7                         G
Forgive me for giving you the blues


                G7            C
A king size bed with no queen seems a mile wide

    D7                                                 G
And you’ve not been gone long enough for your tears to dry

                             G7                 C
I can’t sleep cause memories keep coming on too strong

  D7                                                 G
I can see I made you leave but I can’t make you come home


               G7             C
Forgive me for giving you the blues

D7                           G
Didn’t mean to be so mean to you

               G7          C
I’ve been so unaware about showing how I care

   D7                         G
Forgive me for giving you the blues


   D7                         G
Forgive me for giving you the blues
