1. I would say I'm sorry if I thought that it would change your mind
   A               Hm             C#m                 D
   But I know that this time I've said too much, been too unkind

2. I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
   But I know that it's too late and now there's nothing I can do

R: So I try to laugh about it...

3. I would tell you that I loved you if I thought that you would stay
   But I know that it's no use and you've already gone away
