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:                G                         Em7
                Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
                       G
                Some things are born too strong
                    G               Em7
                Have to learn how to fight
                   C                                       G
                Situation keeps me drinking every goddamned day and night
                   C                      D
                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:             G                                             Em7
                So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent, Your eyes drift easy in the mighty 
                         G                                            Em7
                If the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent, Your eye's drift into mine
                         C                         G
                You're on the road, but your diary entry reads blank
                         C                              D
                Is this some sort of joke to you? Is this some sort of joke to you?
 
repeat 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?

Great tab of a great song! Thanks. I think Verse 3 has a small lyric issue. "town" instead of "talent". I've seen it both ways on google searches, but my ears hear "town". Regardless, this tab is super fun to play.

Is there somewhere on the site that also shows the strumming pattern?
