Strum
D-DU-UDU
 When  we were growing up  you always looked like  you were having such fun
 You  always were and you always  will be the taller  and the prettier one
 People  seem to love  you
 They  gravitate towards  you
 That's  why I started to hate  you so much
 And  I just completely ignored  you
  chorus
 I  don't know why I felt the need  to keep it up  for oh so long
 It's all my fault I'm sorry you  did absolutely  nothing wrong
 I don't know why I felt the need  to drag it out  for all these years
 All the pain I've caused you
 The constant flow  of all the tears
 Believe me when I say that I  cannot apologise  enough
 When all you ever wanted from  me was a token  of my love
 And if it's not too late
 Could you  please find it deep  within your heart
 To try and go  back go back  to the start
 Go back to the start
  verse 2
 I've  been so evil  with my constant  invasions
 But  you made it so easy  for me
 You always rise  to the occasion
 I'll  always pull you up  on every stupid  thing that you say
 But  I found it so entertaining
 Messing  around with your  head
  chorus
 I  don't know why I felt the need  to keep it up  for oh so long
 It's all my fault I'm sorry you  did absolutely  nothing wrong
 I don't know why I felt the need  to drag it out  for all these years
 All the pain I've caused  you
 The constant flow  of all the tears
 Believe me when I say that I  cannot apologise  enough
 When all you ever wanted from  me was a token  of my love
 And if it's not too late
 Could you  please find it deep  within your heart
 To try and go back  go back  to the start
 Go back to the start
 Go back to the start
 Go back to the start
  verse 3
 This  is not just a song
 I intend to put these words  into action
 I  hope that it sums  up the way that I feel  to your satisfaction
  chorus
 I  don't know why I felt the need  to keep it up  for oh so long
 It's all my fault I'm sorry you  did absolutely  nothing wrong
 I don't know why I felt the need  to drag it out  for all these years
 All the pain I've caused you
 The  constant flow  of all the tears
 Believe me when I say that I  cannot apologise  enough
 When all you ever wanted from  me was a token  of my  love
 And if it's not too late
 Could you  please find it deep  within your heart
 To try and go back  go back  to the start
 Go back to the start
 (sounds pretty close.....probably reeeally nice on keyboards)
