[Intro]

Am  Em  G  Em





[Verse]

Am         Em           G         Em

Toro, I am humble, for tonight I understand

     Am              Em             F             E

Your royal blood was never meant to decorate this sand

       Dm              Em               Dm               Em

You've suffered great injustice, so have thousands before you

  Am        G          F          Am

I offer an apology, and one long overdue





[Chorus]

    Dm

I am sorry

          Am

Toro I am sorry,

        Em                       Am

Hear my song, and know I sing the truth

        Dm                                  E

Although we were bred to fight, I reach for kindness in your heart tonight

       Dm                     Am                 Em            Am

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live

       Dm                     Am                Em       E     A

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live





[Verse]

Am         Em                     F          E

Toro, I am frightened, but I'll use my final breath

Am                   Em             G                Em

To tell you that I'm sorry, let us end this dance of death

      Dm         Em         Dm            Em

Two centuries of agony, that to your heart we sent

    Am               G             E             Am

Here and now with my amends, the senseless killing ends





[Chorus]

     Dm

I am sorry,

          Am

Toro I am sorry,

        Em                       Am

Hear my song, and know I sing the truth

Dm                                           E                     G

Although we were bred to fight, I reach for kindness in your heart tonight

       Dm                     Am                 Em            Am

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live

      Dm                     Am                Em       E     Am

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live



       Dm                     Am                 Em

And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love...

E               Am

Love will truly live
