[Intro]
D G D

[Verse 1]
D G D
Oh, I need to write a letter, put it down in black and white
Bm G A
No, a phone call just won't cut it, not the way I feel tonight
G Gbm E
A letter to my mama from the bottom of my heart
Em Gbm D A
"I'm sorry" is a real good place to start

[Verse 2]
D Bm G D
I'm sorry I was selfish, let's chalk it up to youth
Bm G A
I got too old to need you, that's just running from the truth
G D Bm A E
I'm sorry things didn't work out for you and my old man
G D A
Sometimes life don't turn out like you planned

[Verse 3]
Bm Gb Bm E
Lookin' back, I wonder how you ever pulled us through
G A D
I can't imagine walking in your shoes
Bm Gb Bm E
If I could stop this pen from shaking, I'd write these words down too
Em E
There's no one in this world I love like you

[Verse 4]
D Bm G D
Oh, I've written down the memories of these sixty-some odd years
Bm G A
Trying hard to just say "Thank you" as I wipe away the tears
G D Bm E
I hear my grandson calling, so I guess I better go
Em D A
Could never pay you back the love I owe

[Instrumental Break]
D Bm G D D Bm G A G D Bm A E G D A D

[Verse 5]
A D
Oh, I finished up the letter, put it down in black and white
