Em                            Bm
Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I've done
          D	            Cmaj7
It was a long sad supper without you
Em                       Bm
I had to be cruel to be kind
We have to leave the past behind
D       Cmaj7
La la la
Em     				 Bm         D  Cmaj7 	
And isn't it strange how people can change woah
Em     			        Bm
And isn't it weird how people I feared
              D            Cmaj7
They all seem worthless now

Chorus:
G6      C          D         Cmaj7             G
I will ride on my bicycle, I ride thinking of you
        C             D         Cmaj7
As I'm riding on my tricycle, I ride
   Dm                  C
I see the sun in the trees,
       G                     Em
and I feel the psychedelic breeze
And I see the sun in the trees,
and I feel the psychedelic breeze

Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I've done
It was a long sad supper without you
Please don't hold me responsible
I tried, and I tried
It wasn't the same without my brain (Ahh)
It wasn't a game, it wasn't a game, no
Oh, not now

Chorus

La-la-la
Sorry, son
Oh, I am so sorry, son
