D#                  Gm
So this is my apology
                              Cm
For saying all those shitty things
                        G#
I wish I didn't really mean
                      D#
I'm sorry I'm not sorry
                               Gm
You had your red flags up and raised
                         Cm
More traffic than east L.A
                   G#
But I drove in anyway
My common sense on holiday

D#
People fall outta phase, we were a crashed course
 Gm
We will just be a place stuck on your passport
      Cm
You traveled to some time
    G#
But I hope you will find

 Chorus:
            D#
Someone to cry for
            Gm
Someone to try for
            Cm                                G#
Someone to turn your crooked roads into her streets
            D#
Someone to fight for
           Gm
Someone to die for
              Cm                                 G#
Someone whose arms will hold you tight enough to be
                D#    Gm
The reason you breathe
                   Cm    G#
Be the reason you breathe

You stay in love like vacation homes
You like summers on the sunny coast
But when the cold needs a winter coat
You say you will until you don't
You wore a compass around your neck
A different North than we’d ever read
Well, did you get where you're going yet?
Wish you the worst, wish you the best
I don't know how I fell into your rear-view
Paralyzed lullabies, I couldn't hear you
So I hope you were right
And next to you tonight

Chorus

So this is my apology
For saying all those shitty things
I wish I didn't really mean
Sorry, I'm not sorry
