"years go by and still."  Repeat once more landing on an Em, then change to a  
G, then A each time "sorry" is repeated.  Watch for the time signature changes  
around the G.  This entire sequence is repeated, with the exception of the  
opening strums before the singing begins.  Of course, substitute the next  
verses, i.e. "Forgive me..."

 Em          G          D
"baby, can I hold you tonight.  
Em         G            Bm
Baby, if I told you the right words,
               A

              D   Em   F#m   G   A repeat.
you'd be mine.
