Not too sure about all of this (the chorus) but it's a beautiful song and when I play it
this it's beautiful too so it'll do. This is meant to be played by two guitars but I
be bothered writing out the other part and anyway it sounds better played by one on an acoustic.
Listen to the song to get the rhythms, and enjoy!

couldnt believe what I was seeing
faces were screwed up like what I'd done
didnt mean to hurt you so much
I knew I would hurt you but not like this
we all make a mess from time to time dear
take me a lifetime to get this cleared
somebody muttered something under their breath
but I let on like I was a little deaf
Chorus
D C C?
Nobodies perfect thats what I say
Am Am?
No one has hurt you so much you say
D
I'm sorry
Verse
running away seemed like the easy
thing to do becasue I wanted time
to put a smile back on my dour face
for once nothings missing and I feel fine
I was afraid to tell you somethings
but somethings 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 (or chest if you prefer)
Chorus x2

Again, beautiful song, so simple yet so perfect.
