[Intro 1]
[F#m][C][F][C]
[F][C]

[Verse 1]
"I [C]love you, I'm sorry,
please [F]help me, [C]thanks"
Some bumper sticker wisdom
while you're [F]walking [C]the plank
I love you, I'm sorry,
please [F]help me, [C]thanks
The illusion of protection
[F]in the face of [C]a tank
You were a stu[Dm]dent
You were a sol[Em]dier
You were [F]a symbol

[Interlude 1]
They made you a martyr
[G]
[C][F][C]
[F][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]I love you, I'm sorry,
please [F]help me, [C]thank you
When the nationalist demagogues
eat the des[F]perately [C]confused
I love you, I'm sorry, please [F]help me,
[C]thank you
We're so far past civility it feels
[F]useless to ar[C]gue
But love isn't pass[Dm]ive
A trick or a tac[Em]tic
Tried to call [F]ac tion
So, go let 'em [G]have it

[Verse 3]
When I [F]open my [C]perspect
ive from my [F]fear of the [C]world
For [F]the daughter I [C]was trying
[G]to raise[Am]
With [F]the total sum of
[C]everything [F]asleep in my [C]lap
I [F]could hear I was the [C]one in my [G]way
You said [F]life is sweet,
[C]my [F]pain's got [G]teeth[C]
[F][C][F][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]I love you, I'm sorry,
please [F]help [C]me, thank you
You said acceptance and forgiveness,
I said [F]nobody [C]asked you
I love you, I'm sorry, please [F]help me [C]now
I have to drop it sometime,
but I [F]hate that I have [C]to
Oh, but it [Dm]saved me
Oh, but it changed [Em]me
It shaped and re[F]made me
Oh, what it gave [G]me

[Verse 5]
I [F]was burned out on ob[C]sessing
with the [F]end of the [C]world
And the [F]daughter I was [C]helping
to [G]raise[Am]
[F]With the total sum of
[C]everything [F]awake in my [C]lap
I [F]could hear what you [C]were try
ing [G]to say
You said [F]life is sweet,
[Em]and you prai[F]sed God too[G]

[Verse 6]
You said [Am]life is sweet,
[Em]and you prai[F]sed God too[G]

[Verse 7]
You said [F]life is sweet,
[C]if I let[F] it be

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 8]
I [C]love you, I'm sorry, please [F]help me, [C]thanks
I love you, I'm sorry,
please [F]help me, thank[C]s
I love you, I'm sorry, please [F]help me, [C]thanks
I love you, I'm sorry, please help me, thanks
