[Verse 1]
C                              G
I woke up this morning and realized
                   F                     C
All I do is apologize for a song I wrote in 2005
                       C                   G
Didn't come with a warning, but fame is unkind
           F                                     C
Put me on top of the world, couple of girls, and then left me behind
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                     Dm
Sure, let's take a photograph
                           C
You can show it to your friends and laugh
                       Am
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
                            G
But you don't really wanna know
 
[Chorus 2]
               C                                     G
I wrote you a love song, now it's something that you hate on
                           Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
      F                                 C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
                   G                             Am
Without it I'd be no one, and now that you've forgotten me
F
Tell me how to write one better
 
C G F C
 
[Verse 2]
               C                          G
I'm not gonna lie, and say it didn't work out
                    F                            C
'cause I live in a big house, made a few pounds, nice car on the drive
                      C                              G
And I went round the world once or twice, saw the sunset and sunrise
               F                                     C
But for big highs, there's a big price, when all you do is criticize
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                     Dm
Sure, let's take a photograph,
                        C
You can show it to your friends and laugh
                       Am
I'll tell you what I'm doing now
                            G
But you don't really wanna know
 
[Chorus 3]
               C                                     G
I wrote you a love song, now it's something that you hate on
                           Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
      F                                 C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
                   G                             Am
Without it I'd be no one, and now that you've forgotten me
F
Tell me how to write one better
 
[Bridge]
C        G        Am
     Ooh      Ooh
   F                               C    G     Am   F
I don't think I can write a better love song, love song
 
[Chorus 4]
               C                                     G
I wrote you a love song, now it's something that you hate on
                           Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
       F                                  C
But I don't think I can write one better love song
                             G
Now it's something that you hate on
                           Am
And I'm sad the record's broken
       F                                C
But I don't think I can write a better love song
                   G                             Am
Without it I'd be no one, and now that you've forgotten me
F
Just tell me how to write one better
 
[Outro]
                C               G
I woke up this morning, and realized
                   F                        C
All I do is apologize, for a song I wrote in 2005
