2005
James Blunt
Album: The Afterlove (2017)
Standard tuning
No capo
[Verse 1]
C G
I woke up this morning and realized
F C
All I do is apologize for a song I wrote in 2005
C G
Didn't come with a warning, but fame is unkind
F C
Put me on top of the world, couple of girls, and then left me behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Sure, let's take a photograph
C
You can show it to your friends and laugh
Am
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
G
But you don't really wanna know
[Chorus 2]
C G
I wrote you a love song, now it's something that you hate on
Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
F C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
G Am
Without it I'd be no one, and now that you've forgotten me
F
Tell me how to write one better
C G F C
[Verse 2]
C G
I'm not gonna lie, and say it didn't work out
F C
'cause I live in a big house, made a few pounds, nice car on the drive
C G
And I went round the world once or twice, saw the sunset and sunrise
F C
But for big highs, there's a big price, when all you do is criticize
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Sure, let's take a photograph,
C
You can show it to your friends and laugh
Am
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
G
But you don't really wanna know
[Chorus 3]
C G
I wrote you a love song, now it's something that you hate on
Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
F C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
G Am
Without it I'd be no one, and now that you've forgotten me
F
Tell me how to write one better
[Bridge]
C G Am
Ooh Ooh
F C G Am F
I don't think I can write a better love song, love song
[Chorus 4]
C G
I wrote you a love song, now it's something that you hate on
Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
F C
But I don't think I can write one better love song
G
Now it's something that you hate on
Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
F C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
G Am
Without it I'd be no one, and now that you've forgotten me
F
Just tell me how to write one better
[Outro]
C G
I woke up this morning, and realized
F C
All I do is apologize, for a song I wrote in 2005
