VERSE ONE: G Em7
Well, excuse me if I break my own heart

It's mine from the finish I guess
G Em7
It's mine from the start

Situation just don't seem so goddamned smart

Situation is tearing me apart

VERSE TWO: Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Some things are born too strong
Have to learn how to fight
Situation keeps me drinking every goddamned day and night
Situation don't seem so right
CHORUS: G Em7
So excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
G Em7
Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
C G
After all it's mine, after all it's mine
C D
After all it's mine, Can I have it back sometime?
VERSE THREE: So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent
Your eyes drift easy in the mighty
If the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent
Your eye's drift into mine
You're on the road, but your diary entry reads blank
Is this some sort of joke to you?
Is this some sort of joke to you?
repeat CHORUS: [resolve to G]
