Chords

For the riff that comes up in the intro and other parts of the song, power chords can also be played instead. I also recommend listening to the song to listen to when the chord changes for the intro riff because it does sound a bit weird without the riff. [Intro] G D G D [Verse 1]
D
A decade's worth of damage done in unsaid words

G
We both know that's not what you deserved

D
There was always love, it was there but never spoken of

G
You held on when I was not enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        G               A
   It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say
[Chorus]
D           G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry

Bm                            A
I was younger and scared when you needed me

      D            Bm         G
I was selfish and stubborn, a terrible brother

  G                   A
You don't have to forgive me

            D
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
G D [Verse 2]
D
I always knew that I was responsible to guide you through

G
But I was blind when looking out for you

D
I was self-absorbed but I try not to be anymore

G
I put your diary back in your drawer
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        G               A
   It's a shame, this has taken me so long to say
[Chorus]
D           G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry

Bm                            A
I was younger and scared when you needed me

      D            Bm         G
I was selfish and stubborn, a terrible brother

  G                   A
You don't have to forgive me

            G
Hey Rachel, I'm sorry
[Bridge/Pre-Chorus] G A G A
G            A        G           A
