Intro: Em - H

[Em]I wrote a song, a journal

Gave it to the [H]world


Told the story

Of when I was just a [Em]girl

[Em]I sought understanding

Clarity in [H]truth


By baring all the wounds

Inflicted on my [Em]youth


You [Em]criticized my choice

To stand up to my [H]past


To give the pain a voice

So that it too could [Em]pass

But [Em]I felt brave

And filled with pride as I let [H]go

Of bitterness that wouldn’t leave or let me [Em]grow


But [Am]I will spend a [Em]lifetime

[Am]Trying to under[Em]stand

Why [Am]someone sharing my [Em]bloodline

Would [Am]not lend me their [E]hand


[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E] [Am]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...


I [Em]loved her more than myself

But she made me [H]choose


Between her and my father

And so I ref[Em]used


I fled her house and wrath

Eleven years of [H]age


Followed the crooked path

That led me to a [Em]stage


The curtains opened up

My heart followed the [H]lead


The music wouldn’t stop

And I could finally [Em]breathe



But [Am]I will spend a [Em]lifetime

[Am]Trying to under[Em]stand

Why [Am]someone sharing my [Em]bloodline

Would [Am]not lend me their [E]hand


[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [E] [Am]
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
