C                               G 
I woke up this morning and realized
                F                        C
All I do is apologize for a song I wrote in 2005
                    C                       G 
Didn't come with a warning, but fame is unkind
           F
Put me on top of the world,
                           C
couple of girls, and then left me behind

                     Dm
Sure, let's take a photograph
                           C 
You can show it to your friends and laugh
                       Am
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
                            G
But you don't really wanna know

Chorus:
               C
I wrote you a love song,
                              G 
now it's something that you hate on
                          Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
       F                                C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
                    G 
Without it I'd be no one,
                        Am
and now that you've forgotten me
 F
Tell me how to write one better

I'm not gonna lie
Say it didn't work out
'cause I live in a big house
Made a few pounds
Nice car on the drive
And I went round the world once or twice
Saw the sunset and sunrise
But for big highs, there's a big price
When all you do is criticise

Sure, let's take a photograph
You can show it to your friends and laugh
I'd tell you what I'm doing now
But you don't really wanna know

Chorus:
I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think
I can write a better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Tell me how to write one better

   F
I don't think I can write
          C     G    Am   F
a better love song, love song

Chorus:
I wrote you a love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think
I can write one better love song
Now it's something that you hate on
And I'm sad the record's broken
But I don't think
I can write a better love song
Without it I'd be no one
And now that you've forgotten me
Just tell me how to write one better

I woke up this morning
And realised
All I do is apologise
For a song I wrote in 2005
