Verse 1

G                            Em              D
My pride got hurt then I got mad and started looking at you
G                         Em           D
My lips began to form the syllables to get back at you
Em                     Bm                             C
As my revenge began to speak   my angry eyes began to see
                         D      Dsus2  Dsus4  D
Destruction of your love for me

Chorus 1 

      G                                 D
Those words    I never should have said those words
                        Em
I'm sorry that you ever heard 
                   C     Am        D
anything less than tenderness from me
G                                           D
Those words  they never should have left my tongue
                           Em
To do the damage that they done  I'm sorry that I hurt you
C         Am    Am7  G       G  Em  D  G  Em  D    
Please forgive those words

Verse 2

G                              Em                     D
When will I learn that getting back won't make things any better
G                        Em                      D
And treating you without respect won't bring our hearts together
Em                        Bm                             C
The bitterness that I can taste I see it written on your face
                    D      Dsus2  Dsus4  D
And it may never be erased

Chorus 2

      G                                       D     
Those words    I never should have said those words
                        Em
I'm sorry that you ever heard 
                   C     Am        D  
anything less than tenderness from me
      G                                  D
Those words  they never should have left my tongue
                           Em
To do the damage that they done  I'm sorry that I hurt you
C         Am   Am7   G
Please forgive those words

And it may never be erased
