[Verse]
Dm
Looking back at me I see
Bb
That I never really got it right
Am
I never stopped to think of you
Dm
I'm always wrapped up in
Bb
Things I cannot win
Am
Dm
You are the antidote that gets me by
Bb
Something strong
Am Dm Bb F
Like a drug that gets me high
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
What I really meant to say
C F Bb
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
Dm C F Bb Dm
What I really meant to say
C F Bb
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
Dm C F
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
Cold to you I'm sorry about all the lies
Am
Maybe in a different light
Dm Bb
You could see me stand on my own again
Am
Cause now i can see
Dm
You are the antidote that gets me by
Bb
Something strong
Am Dm Bb F
Like a drug that got me high
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
What I really meant to say
C F Bb
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
Dm C F Bb Dm
What I really meant to say
C F Bb
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
Dm C F

[Bridge]
Bb Dm
I never really wanted you to see
C F
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Bb Dm
Locked inside of me so deep
C F Bb
It always seems to get to me
Dm C
I never really wanted you to go
F
So many things you should have known
Bb Dm
I guess for me theres just no hope
C F
I never meant to be so cold
[Chorus]
