D#m
Where did you go again?
Did your head fall down a rabbit hole?
        G#
All he wanted was in
But I let him down and he let me go

Chorus:
        D#m
Now I'm sorry (and I'm sorry)
    C#
I promise it won't happen again
           G#
Yeah, I'm sorry (and I'm sorry)
I promise I won't hurt you again, not again
      D#m C#
Not again
      G#
Not again

I left you drownin'
And your clothes were off and your skin was white
My heart poundin'
But I pulled you out, brought you back to life

Chorus:
Now I'm sorry (And I'm sorry)
I promise it won't happen again
Yeah, I'm sorry (And I'm sorry)
I promise I won't hurt you again

F#              D#m
Oooh-oh-ooh-oh Ohhh-oh-ooh-oh
               A#m
We're standin' alone at the edge of lament
                  C#
I'm holdin' your heart in the palm of my hand
Singin'
F#              D#m
Oooh-oh-ooh-oh Oooh-oh-ooh-oh
        A#m
Tell me again if the fear's in your head
              C#
I don't wanna let this come to an end
Singin'

I took you to the island
And I wrapped your cuts in the cloth I held
Your eyes howlin'
But I kissed your lips and I held your head

Chorus:
Now I'm sorry (And I'm sorry)
I promise I won't hurt you again
Now I'm sorry (And I'm sorry)
I promise I won't do this again

We're standin' alone at the edge of lament
I'm holdin' your heart in the palm of my hand
Singin'
Tell me again if the fear's in your head
I don't wanna let this come to an end
Singin'
Singin'
Tell me again if the fear's in your head
I don't wanna let this come to an end
Singin'
