D                              G
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
                               D
Faces all screwed up like what I'd done
                           G
I didn't mean to hurt you so much
                                  D
I knew it would hurt you but not like this
                         G
We all make a mess from time to time, dear
                                      D
But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared
                            G
Somebody muttered something under their breath
                           D
But I let on like I was a little deaf

Chorus:
D                             C
Nobody's perfect, that's what I say
                       F
No one has hurt me so much you say
        D
I'm sorry

Running away seemed like the easy
Thing to do because I wanted time
To put a smile back on my dour face
For once nothing's missing and I feel fine
I was afraid to tell you some things
But some things all find a way to get told
Hearing it from the lips of somebody else
Must have knocked the wind out of your sweet face
