[Verse 1]
A
I took her from the gutter
A
Just where you threw her down
A
You walked on her like she was dirt
A
You kept on walking round
[Chorus 1]
D7
Now, I'm sorry Charlie
D7 A
Just as sorry as I can be
A
Listen to me
B7
Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles
E
Charlie, she belongs to me
A
Yes siree
[Verse 2]
A
You took advantage of her young love
A
Of high-class intellect
A
Why you're so low, that you don't know
A
The meaning of respect
[Chorus 2]
D7
Now, I'm sorry Charlie
D7 A
I'm just as sorry as I can be
B7
Oh, that's the way the cookie crumbles
E
Charlie, she belongs to me
A
Yes siree
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
A
You make brags around this town
A
Until you're satisfied
A
You just brag, and Charlie cause
A
Deep down you know you've lied
[Chorus 3]
D7
And I'm sorry Charlie
D7 A
Well, I'm just as sorry as I can be
A
Yes siree
B7
Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles
E
Charlie, she belongs to me
[Verse 4]
A
Well, now we're both in love
A
And about to say "I do"
A
That's all she wrote Charlie
A
We won't be needing you
[Chorus 4]
D7
Lord, I'm sorry Charlie
D7 A
I'm just as sorry as I can be
A
You better listen to me
A
Yes siree
B7
That's the way the cookie crumbles
E
Charlie, she belongs to me
A
All right
A
Let's go
[Outro]
A
I'm sorry Charlie
A
Oh, I'm sorry
A
Yeah, all right
A
I'm sorry Charlie
A
Sorry as I can be
A
All right
A
Yes
