Apology Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]remember [C]everything[G]
I've learned about survival
[D]I've walked [G]with fools and [C]kings
[G]And I've even read the Bible

[Verse 2]
[G]
There I came upon [C]some [G]lines
Givin' me direction
Gather not your gold on [C]earth[G]

[Verse 3]
Your kingdom is in heaven
[G]
But I chose to live instead
Inside the shell they gave me
'Til in spite of everything
Good fortune came to find me

[Verse 4]
[D]I tried my best to run away
But [C]I could not avoid the feelin'
Soon I was reelin' on my [D]feet
I [C]made a grab at anything
The earth was gone and I was on
A vicious circle then
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
After I'd [C]gone [G]and let
myself surrender
I didn't want to die at all

[Verse 6]
I thought I'd live forever
[G]
Then she gave me everything
A king could never borrow
But I twisted all her gifts

[Verse 7]
Her wisdom was my sorrow
[G]
So I left her cryin'
And roamed across the river
The angels offered me their hands
But I could not forget her

[Verse 8]
So I came to where [G]she was[C][G]
By river, road and reason
I slept beneath her window
[C]In [G]the moonlight summer season

[Verse 9]
[D]But I could not go inside
I [C]heard the sound of laughter
And the rustle of her hair upon [D]his skin
[C]I made a grab at anything
The earth was gone and I was on
A vicious circle then
[D]

[Verse 10]
[G]
After I'd [C]gone [G]to cry
down my sorrow
I didn't want to live no more

[Verse 11]
Nor face the bright tomorrow
[G]
Then I remembered [C]everything[G]
I've learned about survival
Havin' walked with fools and kings

[Verse 12]
I've even read the Bible
[G]
I remember all those [C]lines[G]
Givin' me direction
Gather not your gold on earth

[Verse 13]
It will not pass inspection
[G]
And still I think when I'm alone
Away from all night splendor
If gold could buy one night with her
I wish I had some to send

[Outro 1]
