C - Em - Am - G6 [Verse 1] C I got the good side of things Em Left you with both of the rings Am My fingers danced and swayed in the breeze G6 The change in the wind took you down to your knees C I got the good side of you Em Send it out into the blue Am The people danced to the sound of your heart G6 The world sang along to it falling apart [Chorus] C Em But I sympathize, and I recognize Am And baby, I apologize G6 That I got the good side The good side of things C - Em - Am - G6 [Verse 2] C I got the good side of life Em Travelled the universe twice Am So many thoughts I wanted to share G6 But I didn't call because it wouldn't be fair C Then I got the good side of new Em Found arms to fall right into Am I know how it looked, it wasn't the plan G6 And some day I hope that you'll understand [Chorus] C Em That I sympathize, and I recognize Am And baby, I apologize G6 That I got the good side The good side of things C - Em - Am - G6 [Bridge] C I'm sure we'll meet in the spring Em And catch up on everything Am I'll say I'm proud of all that you've done G6 You taught me the ropes, and you taught me to love [Chorus] C Em But I sympathize, and I recognize Am And baby, I apologize G6 That I got the good side The good side of things C Em Sympathize, recognize Am Apologize G6 That I got the good side C The good side of things
