I said I would put this song on the “that guy” album. And, I did!

I Didn’t

I suppose one day, I had a hot flash of guilt about occasions when I did’n do whatever I said, I would do and I wrote this. My excuse is… we’ve all been there. Forgiven? Naw!

Am                              E
I said I knew the way. I didn’t
Am      FM7                 Dm7    Em
I said I’ll leave right away. I didn’t
Am                             E
I said I’ll bring a friend of mine. I didn’t
C         FM7                 B7        Em
I said I’ll stay a long time. I didn’t

I said I’d pick up dirty clothes. I didn’t
And I’ll roll up the garden hose. I didn’t
I said I’ll help with every endeavour. I didn’t
I said I’ll love you forever. I didn’t

Instrumental Verse  

A                                  D        
I look back on all these things
E                                  A
Things I’ve not forgotten
F#m                             Bm
And I realize, sure as birds have wings
E                                  E
I have been … just rotten.
A                                  C#
I was unaware
F#m                             D
Oblivion was my middle name
Bm                              B7
Looked just like I didn’t care
E                                  E
Wasted time, what a shame

A tangled web. What a mess!
As if my mouth and brain have never met
Lost at sea I was, I must confess
No purpose put in place. This is what I get.  

Instrumental Verse E

Am                              Esus4
When I said I would,   I didn’t
