Red House Painters - I'm Sorry
Scored by ed [ed] johnson
Should be played with a capo on the 2nd fret
Seems reasonably right to me and is consistent with some of the chords used in other red
painters songs, but any improvements would be appreciated.

[riff 1]
It's cold here in the city
Always seems that way
I've been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the pain
Thinking about how bad it feels all alone again
I'm sorry for the way things are in China
I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be
But more than anything else
[riff 2]
/ /,
I'm sorry for myself
/ / [hold]
[riff 1]
That you're not here with me
My friends all ask about you
I say you're doing fine
I expect to hear from you almost any time
They all know I'm lying
I cant sleep at night
They all know I'm dying deep down inside
I'm sorry for all the lies I told you
I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
/
But more than anything else
[riff 2]
/ /, /,
I'm sorry for myself
/ / [hold]
[riff 1]
I cant believe you went away
I'm sorry if I took some things for granted
I'm sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
[riff 2]
/ /, /,
I'm sorry for myself
/ / [hold]
[riff 1]
for living without you
[repeat riff 1 to fade]
