INTRO:
VERSE ONE:
Well, excuse me if I break my own heart
It's mine from the finish I guess
It's mine from the start
Situation just don't seem so goddamned smart
Situation is tearing me apart
interrupted CHORUS:
So you'll have to excuse me if I break my own heart
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:
So excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
After all it's mine, after all it's mine
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]
