[Intro]
G  Bm   G   Bm

[Verse 1]
G                              Bm
  I thought about what I would say
                         G
But I'm two years too late
                        B
I can't imagine how you doin'
 these days, mm-hmm
G                                Bm
 Sure it wasn't perfect back then
                      G
I'll be first to admit
But it was better than bein'
   B
 strangers again, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am
I'm drunk 'til late, talkin'
        D
to the moon
Am                            D
Writin' songs I can't sing to you
'Cause

[Chorus]
Cm                       Bm
Ever since that day, the things
                    Am
 I didn't say, they haunt me, oh
      Cm
And I know that I'm to blame,
    Bm                    Am
so go ahead and blame it on me, oh
  C
I know that I'm too late but
      G                  Am    D
I'll say it anyway, I'm sorry
    G           Bm
I'm sorry, mmmh-mmmhh
         G
I'm sorry
                    Bm
Though it's far too late

[Verse 2]
G                              C
  And it was me, it wasn't you
                     G
It's cliché but it's true
                        Cm
I wasn't thinkin' how I usually
                G
do, oh, ooh-oh
                             Cm
And is your momma doin' well?
                    G
Or does she hate me still?
                            Cm
Bet it was hard to watch me put
you through hell

[Bridge]
D                    Em
 If you ever hear this
                     C
I hope you know that I'm
                      G
not proud of who I've been
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
D                   Em
 And if I see you again
                     C
I hope you know that I wish
                     G
you nothing but the best
           E
My biggest regret
