Em                   D
For hearing all my doubts so selectively and
Em                   D
For continuing my numbing love endlessly. 
Em                  D
For helping you and myself: not even considering
Em                  D
For beating myself up and over functioning.

Am                             Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am                                       Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

[Verse 2]
Em                            D
For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
Em                          D
For myself love being so embarrassingly conditional.
Em                           D
And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
Em                         D
And for trying to fit a rectangle into a hole.

Am                             Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am                                       Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

[Chorus]
     C          G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                     G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
     C           G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                        G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

[Verse 3]
Em                      D
For blaming myself for your unhappiness
Em                         D
And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.
Em                 D
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
Em                           D
And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.

Am                             Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am                                       Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

[Chorus]
     C          G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                     G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
     C           G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                        G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

[Bridge]
Am                                  Em
Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?
C                               D
Forgetting you or forgetting myself...
Am                                Em
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,
C                                D
I would've naturally loved the former.

[Verse 4]
Em                     D
For ignoring you: my highest voices.
Em                   D
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.
Em                        D
For being so disassociated from my body,
Em                              D
And for not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing.

Am                             Em
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
Am                                       Em
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

[Chorus]
And
     C          G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                     G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
     C           G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                        G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
     C          G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                     G7
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
     C           G7
I'm sorry to myself.
     C                        G7
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
