G   C               G      C
And I hope I didn't do you in

I hope I see you again
               G    C
I'm lookin to apologize
              G    G/F#  Em
For all of my childish lies
     C      C/B  Am     D         G   C  D   G 
I'm ashamed I broke my word

Verse 2:
   G     C                         G      C
And I'd like to catch up with your father now
              G       C
And show him exactly how
                    G       C
The hate that has grown for him
                  G       G/F#   Em
How I've not the strength to forgive
       C   C/B Am    D
Such a sin as if hey hey

   Am               D       G            Em
To ease this girl's pain by taking your life

Bridge:
G                        Dm7        
Love for a daughter you don't have to wait
C                        Cm6
Love can't explain it nor god's will nor fate
       G            D7      C    Cm6
 Would account for all you've lost
G                    Dm7
It might be over but it's not too late
C                        Cm6
Trading my freedom for setting things straight

 with a man that has it coming

1, 2, 3!
G      C D  G

    G   C                  G      C
And I bring in form of a violent deed
            G    C
Revenge, my apology
               G     C
The life of an evil man
            G    G/F# Em
His severed molesting hands
        C    C/B Am     D
 and a quiet relief for you

I toned down his talkin said I am the one 
     Am           D             G     Em
that came here to make good and right
   Am               D       G            Em
To ease this girl's pain by taking your life
C               Am               D7             G      C   D   G
Apology's mine, apology's mine, apology's mine tonight
