[Intro]
D F#m G A
[Verse]
D 
I got the good side of things 
F#m 
Left you with both of the rings 
G 
My fingers danced and swayed in the breeze 
     A 
The change in the wind took you down to your knees 
D 
I got the good side of you 
F#m 
Send it out into the blue 
G 
The people danced to the sound of your heart 
A 
The world sang along to it falling apart
[Chorus]
    D                   F#m 
But I sympathize, and I recognize 
               G 
And baby, I apologize 
                A 
That I got the good side 
A                    D 
The good side of things
[Instrumental]
D F#m G A x2
[Verse]
D 
I got the good side of life 
F#m 
Travelled the universe twice 
G 
So many thoughts I wanted to share 
     A 
But I didn't call because it wouldn't be fair 
      D 
Then I got the good side of new 
F#m 
Found arms to fall right into 
   G 
I know how it looked, it wasn't the plan 
     A 
And some day I hope that you'll understand
[Chorus]
     D                     F#m 
That I sympathize, and I recognize 
               G 
And baby, I apologize 
                A 
That I got the good side 
A                    D 
The good side of things
[Instrumental]
D F#m G A x2
[Bridge]
D 
I'm sure we'll meet in the spring 
    F#m 
And catch up on everything 
 G 
I'll say I'm proud of all that you've done 
     A 
You taught me the ropes, and you taught me to love
[Chorus]
    D                   F#m 
But I sympathize, and I recognize 
               G 
And baby, I apologize 
                A 
That I got the good side 
A                    D 
The good side of things 
   D       F#m 
Sympathize, recognize 
 G 
Apologize 
                A 
That I got the good side 
A                    D 
The good side of things
