[Verse 1]
C
I woke up this morning
Am
And realized
F
All I do is apologize
G
For a song I wrote in 2005
C
Didn't come with a warning
Am
But fame is unkind
F
Put me on top of the world
G
Couple of girls and then
Left me behind
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Sure, let's take a photograph
Am
You can show it to your friends and laugh
F
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
G
But you don't really wanna know
[Chorus 1]
C
I wrote you a love song
Am
Now it's something that you hate on
F
And I'm sad the record's broken
G C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
Am
Without it I'd be no one
F
And now that you've forgotten me
G
Tell me how to write one better
[Verse 2]
C
I'm not gonna lie
Am
And say it didn't work out
F
'cause I live in a big house Made a few pounds
G
Nice car on the drive
C
And I went round the world once or twice
Am
Saw the sunset and sunrise
F
But for big highs, there's a big price
G
When all you do is criticise
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Sure, let's take a photograph
Am
You can show it to your friends and laugh
F
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
G
But you don't really wanna know
[Chorus 1]
C
I wrote you a love song
Am
Now it's something that you hate on
F
And I'm sad the record's broken
G C
But I don't think I can write a better love song

Without it I'd be no one
F
And now that you've forgotten me
G
Tell me how to write one better

"apologize For a song I wrote in 2005"
I woke up this morning
And realized
All I do is apologize
For a song I wrote in 2005
Didn't come with a warning
But fame is unkind
Put me on top of the world
Couple of girls and then left me behind
Sure, let's take a photograph
You can show it to your friends and laugh
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
But you don't really wanna know
I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a
Better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Tell me how to write one better
I'm not gonna lie
Saying I didn't work out
'Cause I live in a big house, made a few pounds
Nice car on the drive
And I went round the world once or twice
Saw the sun set and sun rise
But for big highs, there's a big price
When all you do is criticize
Sure, let's take a photograph
You can show it to your friends and laugh
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
But you don't really wanna know
I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a
Better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Tell me how to write one better
I don't think I can write one better
I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write one
Better love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think I can write a
Better love song
Without it I'd be no one
Now that you've forgotten me
Just tell me how to write one better
I woke up this morning
And realized
All I do is apologize
For a song I wrote in 2005
