The Apology Song

Torro, I am humbled, for tonight I (D7)understand:

your (Gm)royal blood was (F)never meant to (Eb)decorate this (D7)sand.

You've (Eb)suffered great (D7)injustice;

so have (Eb)thousands before (D7)you.

I (Gm)offer an (F)apology, and (Eb)one long (D7)(Gm)overdue.

(Gm)I am (Cm)sorry.

(Torro, Torro, I am sorry.)

Hear my (Bb)song;

I know I sing the truth.

Although (Eb)you were bred to fight,

I'll reach for (D7)kindness in your heart tonight.

And if (Cm)you can forgive, and if (Gm)you can forgive,

(D7)love can truly (Gm)live.

And if (Cm)you can forgive, and if (Gm)you can forgive,

(D7)love can truly (Gm)live.

(Gm)Torro, I am frightened, but I'll use my final (D7)breath to (Gm)tell you that I'm (F)sorry;

let us (Eb)end this dance of (D7)death.

Two (Eb)centuries of (D7)agony that (Eb)to your heart we (D7)sent.

Here and (Gm)now with my own (F)men,

(F)this (Eb)senseless (D7)killing (Gm)ends.

(Gm)I am live.

(Gm)And if (Cm)you can forgive, and if (Gm)you can forgive,

(D7)love,

(D7)love (C)can (F#dim)(D7)truly (Gm)live.
