However on "say" an Em A----------------------|0---0---0--------chord is played. Repeat the chordE----------------------|-----------------changes, but go to a D on "still" in
"years go by and still." Repeat once more landing on an Em, then change to a
G, then A each time "sorry" is repeated. Watch for the time signature changes
around the G. This entire sequence is repeated, with the exception of the
opening strums before the singing begins. Of course, substitute the next
verses, i.e. "Forgive me..."
The remaining part of the song goes:
Em G D
"baby, can I hold you tonight.
Em G Bm
Baby, if I told you the right words,
