For the riff that comes up in the intro and other parts of the song, power chords can
also be played instead.
I also recommend listening to the song to listen to when the chord changes for the
intro riff because it does sound a bit weird without the riff.
Capo 1

[Verse 1]

A decade's worth of damage done in unsaid words

We both know that's not what you deserved

You held on when I was not enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G A
It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say
[Chorus]
D G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
Bm A
I was younger and scared when you needed me

I was selfish and stubborn, a terrible brother
G A
You don't have to forgive me
D
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
G D
[Verse 2]
D
I always knew that I was responsible to guide you through

I put your diary back in your drawer

It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say
