Intro

Verse one

Well, excuse me if I break my own heart

  It's mine from the finish I guess

  It's mine from the start

  Situation just don't seem so goddamned smart

  Situation is tearing me apart

interrupted CHORUS:

  So you'll have to excuse me if I break my own heart

Verse two

Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

Some things are born too strong

Have to learn how to fight

Situation keeps me drinking every goddamned day and night

Situation don't seem so right

Chorus

So excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

  Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight

  After all it's mine, after all it's mine

  After all it's mine, Can I have it back sometime?

Verse three

So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent

Your eyes drift easy in the mighty

If the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent

Your eye's drift into mine

You're on the road, but your diary entry reads blank

Is this some sort of joke to you?

Is this some sort of joke to you?

repeat CHORUS: [resolve to G]
