[Intro]
Am  F  C  G
Am  F  C  G
 
[Chorus]
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C         G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am               F                 C   G
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C      G      Am
For all the time I had to get my life
   F             C             G
To get my life together, but I didn’t
 
[Verse]
Am                   F
Nineteen niney-three you gave birth to me
C
Sweet little baby girl
G                     Am
Had the world at my feet
       F            C    G
Before I could even stand
           Am
Cradled me in your right
    F
And your left hand
  C                  G
A precious bundle of un-made plans
Am                  F
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
         C            G
A bright future so it seemed, oh
         Am                       F
But that light grew a little less bright
          C              G
As I grew up we began to fight
               Am                 F
When I was thirteen I was so damn mean
          C                       G
Running away had nothing more to say
              Am
Than I hate you
           F        C   G
But that’s not true now
       Am               F
I just don’t, I just don’t
                  C        G
I just don’t know how to say
 
[Chorus]
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C         G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am               F                 C   G
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C      G       Am
For all the time I had, to get my life
   F             C             G
To get my life together, but I didn’t
 
[Verse]
Am               F                C      G
  You never talk about me to your friends
Am            F            C        G
  Because you must be so embarrassed
                 C                   G
I dropped out of college without any plans
             F                        C
I moved back home I couldn’t even pay rent
      Dm
I was living on your couch
          C
Trying to figure it out
        Bm                 G 
Cutting myself up, tearing myself down
 
[Chorus]
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C         G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am               F                 C   G
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C       G     Am
For all the time I had to get my life
   F             C             G
To get my life together, but I didn’t
 
[Bridge]
Dm
  I’m sorry that I couldn’t
    C                        F
Buy you that house upon that hill
                         G            Dm
Or take care of all your medical bills
                         C
I know I didn’t make you proud
                            F
I should’ve been someone by now
                    G
But I never figured out how
 
Dm
  I’m sorry that I couldn’t
    C                        F
Buy you that house upon that hill
                         G            Dm
Or take care of all your medical bills
                         C
I know I didn’t make you proud
                            F
I should’ve been someone by now
                    G
But I never figured out how
 
[Chorus]
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C         G
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am               F                 C   G
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Am      F
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C       G     Am
For all the time I had to get my life
   F             C      G
To get my life together
 
          Am      F 
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C         G 
I know I’ve messed up bad, I should’ve
Am               F                 C   G
  Should’ve done, should’ve done better
          Am      F 
I’m sorry mom and dad
            C       G     Am 
For all the time I had to get my life
   F             C    G    Am    F 
To get my life together, but I didn’t
 
 
                G        C
