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

This song is an apology for a love that has been lost.

He confesses his disbelief that they are truly gone. It's a poignant expression of lingering heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on.
