    A#       Gm7
Now I never meant,
        F
to do wrong,
  D#          Cm7          A# A#sus4 A#
thats what I came here to say.
    A#        Gm7
But if I was wrong,
          F
Than I'm sorry,
   D#           Cm7          A# A#sus4 A#
I don't let it stand in our way.

Cause my head just aches
When I think of
The things that I shouldn't have done
But life is for living
We all know
And I don't want to live it alone

Sing Ah, Ah, Oh
Sing Ah,  Ah, Oh
And just think Ah, Ah, Oh
