I’m Sorry That - is a song about unrequited love. It is never easy when you’ve loved someone and that feeling has not been returned and vice versa.
I’ve included the lyrics and chords.


I’m Sorry That - melody and lyrics by Harriet Barbir
3rd fret
(c) yesterday I thought about (em) you
and thought I ought (am) to
just (g) explain
(c) It wasn’t great the way we (em) parted
me broken (am) hearted
and you the (g) same
(f) I know you wanted (em) so much more
(f) and I guess i’ve said these words before (g7)

c, em, am, em,
(c) I’m sorry that I couldn’t (em) give you
the things (am) you needed, I hope you (f) knew
(c) I’m sorry that I couldn’t (em) love you
(am)the way you loved me , I wanted to

You were the one I’d always turn to
When I needed someone. someone true.
But we were never meant to stay,
The ties that bind, just slipped away.
f) I know you wanted (em) so much more
(f) and I guess I’ve said these words before (g7)

c) I’m sorry that I couldn’t (em) give you
the things (am) you needed, I hope you (f) knew
(c) Im sorry that i couldn’t (em) love you
(am)the way you loved me; I wanted to (f)

em, am
Life has a strange way of revealing
(f) the time was wrong but not the feeling(g7) ?


If we ever meet I hope we’ll find
that love and life have both been kind
and though our story came undone
you’ll always be that true someone
