     Dm
The first time we met time stood still,
A#
You left me breathless, suddenly speechless.
Dm
Within the hour we were one,
 A#
Two total strangers kissing the moonlight.

Chorus:
Gm                F       D#    Gm
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go,
            F        D#     Gm
I'm really sorry it had to die,
            F       D#        Cm
I'm really sorry I made you cry...
 A#
Cry.

We fell in love between the nights
Of too many lovers and too many teardrops.
And fate won't resist some satin sheets.
I was so helpless, totally ruthless.

Chorus:
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry you're hurt inside
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Cry, cry

Fm                  Cm                   Fm
Love is lifting you up and draggin' you down,
              G#        D#        Fm
Makes you go round and round and round.
              Cm                  Fm
Time makes a stop, then it's all gone.
           G#            D#       Dm A#
Funny how memories keep lingering on.

Chorus:
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry it had to die
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Oh, you know I'm sorry I had to go
I'm really sorry you're hurt inside
I'm really sorry I made you cry
Cry, cry
