Tom: G

         G       C    D
Should I write a song to lean upon
   G           C        D
Or close these wretched blinds?
        G        C           D
And do I tell you all that's going wrong
   G    C           D
Or just pretend I'm fine?

[Pre-Chorus]
              G      C   D
I'm sorry for cryin' so loud
                  G      C          D
And I'm sorry for wakin' you in the early hours
               G         C        D
I know you are trying to get some rest
           G           C       D
You've got work in the mornin', got to look your best

[Chorus]
G            C       D
   And I know I don't cook like your mum
G            C       D
   And I know I don't cook like your mum

[Verse 2]
G              C           D
Should I crawl back through into the bed
    G       C   D
Or couch it here alone?
         G    C       D
And do I retract every statement said
    G      C    D
Or just let them evolve?
                         Am     C       D
Where were you when I was on my knees
              Am     C       D
Crying for a family?
                              Am      C       D
And where were you when I was breakin' at the seams?
                    Am                      D
Did you think I was fine? Do I look fuckin' fine?

[Pre-Chorus]
                        G      C   D
I, I, I, I'm sorry for cryin' so loud
                  G      C          D
And I'm sorry for wakin' you in the early hours
               G         C        D
I know you are trying to get some rest
           G           C       D
You've got work in the mornin', got to look your best


[Chorus]
G            C       D
   And I know I don't cook like your mum
G            C       D
   And I know I don't cook like your mum
G            C       D
   And I know I don't cook like your mum
G            C       D               Am
   And I know I don't cook like your mum

[Post-Chorus]
                           C
But I'm trying to love her son
                               D
Oh, oh, oh, and he's makin' it hard


[Outro]
                  G      C   D
But I'm sorry for cryin' so loud
                  G      C          D
And I'm sorry for wakin' you in the early hours
               G         C        D
I know you are trying to get some rest
           G           C       D
You've got work in the mornin', got to look your best
