[Intro]
F*
[Verse]
I didn't Fmean it when I Asaid I hope
ThDme cable in the Felevator snBbaps when you step on bFoard.C  
And I was jAoking when I said I hDmope you crack your head
And get mGangled by the downstairs revolvinCg doors.
And I was Fkidding when I sAaid I hope the DmNumber one-o-three bus
BbHits and makes a pancake out of Fyou.C  
[Chorus]
I'm sDmorry, I'm sAorry.
IsBbn't it amazing what a wComan in love will Fdo?C  
[Verse 2]
And I rFeally don't want to sAee your taxi
DmOn the 59th Street Bridge
Flip Bbover and crash through the Frail.C  
And I'd be sAad if at the airport
You were misDmtaken for a local sex offender,
AGrrested, beaten up, and thrown in jCail.
And I Freally don't want to sAee you getting
RadiatDmion poisoning from the metal detector that all pBbassengers
On foreign and domestic flights must walk thFrough.C  
[Chorus]
I'm sDmorry, forgAive me
For Bball the mean tChings I said to Fyou.C  
[Bridge]
AYou thought I didn't have a Dmtemper.
Ha Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha, suDmrprise!
But I rAeally don't want to see you dismDmembered
By the marijuana sniffing dogs,
When a siGmple little nipping would suffiCce, would suffice.
[Verse 3]
And I'm sForry when I sAaid I hope
The Dmflight attendant spills scalding hot coffee on your Bblap as you
fly away from FmeC  
And I'm soArry that I said
I hoDmpe you break both legs
On the mGountain while you sCki.
And I'm sForry for aAll the nasty thDmings
I said about your motherBb  
(Even though we both Fknow they're true)C.
[Chorus]
I'm sDmorry, forgAive me,
I'm swaDmllowing my pride,
              A*           A7*
I'd feel so guilty if you died,
Oh, I'm sBborry, but I'm Cstill pissed at Fyou.Bb  F

The cable in the elevator snaps when you step on board.

And get mangled by the downstairs revolving doors.

F A Dm

And I was kidding when I said I hope the Number one-o-three bus

Bb F C

Hits and makes a pancake out of you.

[Chorus]

Dm A

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Bb C F C

Isn't it amazing what a woman in love will do?

[Verse 2]

F A

And I really don't want to see your taxi

On the 59th Street Bridge

Bb F C

Flip over and crash through the rail.

And I'd be sad if at the airport

You were mistaken for a local sex offender,

G C

Arrested, beaten up, and thrown in jail.

F A

And I really don't want to see you getting

Dm Bb

Radiation poisoning from the metal detector that all passengers

On foreign and domestic flights must walk through.

I'm sorry, forgive me

For all the mean things I said to you.

And I'm sorry when I said I hope

The flight attendant spills scalding hot coffee on your lap as you

On the mountain while you ski.

And I'm sorry for all the nasty things
