Sorry Chords by Karine Polwart

When your time on the [C] mountain is over
[Cm] And you fall to the [Bb] earth like a [G] leaf
[Cm] It won't be enough these [Gm] [C] days to say sorry
[Ab] Sorry won't [Gm] pay [C] for this grief
[Cm] You may lay [Bb] down your guilt [C] on the altar
_ [Cm] _ Kneel your [G] remorse to the cross
[Cm] But it's not enough [Gm] these days to say sorry
[Ab] Sorry won't pay [C] for this loss
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And if the [C] blood on your hands turns to water
[Cm] And the night [C] in your soul [G] turns to day
It won't be enough [C] this time to say sorry _
[Ab] Sorry won't wash [C] it all away _
You may lay down your guilt on the altar
_ [Cm] _ Kneel your [C] remorse to the [G] cross
[Cm] But it's not enough [C] these days to say sorry
_ [Cm] Sorry [C] won't pay for this loss

[Cm] When you're through with the [C] spell you've been spinning
And [Cm] your hopes and your dreams have all [G] died
[Cm] It won't be enough these days [C] to say sorry
_ [Cm] Sorry won't [C] turn [F] back the tide
[Cm] You may lay down your [Gb] guilt [Cm] on the altar
_ _ Kneel your [C] remorse to the [G] cross
It's [Cm] not enough [C] these days to say sorry
