 D      A      G
Sorry about my past life
D          A       G
Sorry but we just missed
D        Bm                   G F#
Sorry it had to end up like this

Sorry if I caused you pain
Sorry I forgot your name
Sorry, but you left me out in the rain

Chorus:
           Bm               A
Thought I knew you better then
            G             D
Thought I knew your intentions
           G                      Bm  E
Thought I knew but didn't have a clue
       F#                    Bm A G
Not a single damn thing was true

Sorry if I caused you harm
Sorry I'm no good luck charm
Sorry you didn't end up in my arms

Chorus

B             G
Now that our world's gone dark
      E/G#                    G        F#
We've drained the well, blew out the spark
    Bm        Bm/A      Bm/G#  Bm/G
And now we're left with broken hearts
F#
Trying to find a new place to start

Chorus:
Thought I knew you better then
Thought I knew your intentions
Thought I knew but didn't have a clue
Not a single damn thing was true
Thought I knew you better then
Thought I knew your intentions
Thought I knew but didn't have a clue
Not a single damn thing was true
