I'm Sorry - John Denver
It's Gcold here in the city it   Amalways seems that way
Our  friends all ask about you, I say you're doing fine
and D7I've been thinking about you almost Gevery day
    I expect to hear from you almost    anytime
GThinking about the good times      Amthinking about the rain
But they all know I'm cryin', that I can't sleep at night
D7thinking about how bad it feels aGlone again
They all know I'm dying down     deep inside
I'm Csorry for the waD7y things are in   GChina,
I'm sorry for     all the lies I      told you
I'm sorry if I took   some things for granted
I'm Csorry things ain't D7what they use to Gbe
I'm sorry for the      things I didn't  say
I'm sorry for the      chains I put on  you
but Cmore than anything D7else I'm Gsorry D/F#for mysEmelfEm/D  C  C/B  Am

but more than anything else I'm sorry for myself
cause D7you're not        Ghere with me
I     can't believe you went away
for   living        without you

The story behind the song

"I'm Sorry" is an apology for a love that has ended, with the singer still heartbroken weeks later. Though he claims to be fine, his friends know otherwise, and he confesses he can't believe his love interest left him. This 1975 release was John Denver's final number-one pop hit, and its flip side, "Calypso," also received substantial radio airplay. The song features classic Denver touches, including a sweet arrangement and emotive lyrics.
