C
I was listening to our records
G
But I never played our song
C
The Underground sang "Sunday Morning"
G
Lou Reed was never wrong

C
I wanna write you something
G
Sing it from my heart
C
Stole the words from a Hallmark card
A
I never used, but they're so true

chorus
C                                  G
Sorry I Can't Write A Song About You
C                        G
Sorry I Can't Write A Song About You

C
I was watching some old movie
G
It really wasn't that good
C
It wasn't "Inside Daisy Clover"
G
There was no Natalie Wood

C
I wanna tell you something
G
Say it from my soul
C
The words got stuck in my throat
A
Nothing came out, but I meant it loud
