INTRO: G G Em7 Em7 G G Em7 Em7

VERSE ONE: G Em7

Well, excuse me if I break my own heart

G

It's mine from the finish I guess

G Em7

It's mine from the start

C G

Situation just don't seem so goddamned smart

C D

Situation is tearing me apart

interrupted CHORUS:

G Em7

So you'll have to excuse me if I break my own heart

G G Em7 Em7

VERSE TWO: Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

Some things are born too strong

Have to learn how to fight

Situation keeps me drinking every goddamned day and night

Situation don't seem so right

CHORUS: G Em7

So excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

G Em7

Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

C G

After all it's mine, after all it's mine

C D

After all it's mine, Can I have it back sometime?

VERSE THREE: So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent

Your eyes drift easy in the mighty

If the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent

Your eye's drift into mine

You're on the road, but your diary entry reads blank

Is this some sort of joke to you?

Is this some sort of joke to you?

repeat CHORUS: [resolve to G]
