INTRO:          G   G   Em7   Em7   G   G   Em7   Em7

VERSE ONE:              G                         Em7
                Well, excuse me if I break my own heart
                     G
                It's mine from the finish I guess
                     G             Em7
                It's mine from the start
                    C                                  G
                Situation just don't seem so goddamned smart
                    C                    D
                Situation is tearing me apart

interrupted CHORUS:
                                    G                         Em7
                So you'll have to excuse me if I break my own heart
                G   G   Em7   Em7

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]
