 Dm  A           Dm          A
You say that I suck and I'm lousy
 Dm  A            G
You say I can't write, not yet
 Dm  A      Dm      A
You always told me how to be
 Dm  A          G
Now I'm sick of it

Chorus:
 D                      A
Sorry doesn't make it okay
     Bm                         D
When I'm the one who paid your way
         Dm  A
Don't preach

You're drilling a hole in my ceiling
Too bad it won't rain
But who's living without any feeling
So don't you complain

Chorus:
Sorry doesn't make it okay
When I'm the one that paid your way
Sorry doesn't make it okay
When I'm the one that paid your way
Don't preach

                          G D
I can't believe what you say
         A         G#  G         G#  A
How you live, how you love, how you lie
         G#  G      D
You took my money away
          A   G#      G         G#  A
Made me sleep on the floor that I bought
       G#    G       D
But I don't care anyway
          A          G#   G      G#    A
'Cause I laugh when you cry, do you think
      G#    G         D
 You would die if I said
          Dm  A
"Don't preach"?

Chorus:
Sorry doesn't make it okay
When I'm the one that paid your way
Sorry doesn't make it okay
When I'm the one that paid your way

A
The house, the bed, the cars and the front door
(cars and the front door)
How's it feel now that it's paid for
(now that's it's paid for)
Already paid for
(already paid for)
Already paid for
(already paid for)
Already paid for
(already paid for)
Already paid for
(already paid for)

A        A        A  A  A  A  A  A 
Everybody's paid for
A        A        A  A  A  A  A  A 
Everybody's paid for
A        A        A  A  A  A  A  A 
Everybody's paid for
A        A        A
Everybody's paid for
