When I couldn't tell her I was sorry by myself
I've seen it make her cry over and over
I wish she'd just thrown that thing away
She told me when I wasn't there
Katy brought my guitar back today
How she loved to hear me play
She would wake up feeling scared
Sittin' in the fireplace light
But Katy brought my guitar back today
As I sit and play it now
More than once I broke her heart
But Katy brought my guitar back today
Sittin' in the fireplace light
How she used to love to hear me play
We had our stormy times like anybody else
I remember all those nights
She'd hold it in her arms and be okay
Katy brought my guitar back today
I remember all those nights
Katy brought my guitar back today
The songs all seem so sad somehow
But I'm afraid this time things have gone too far
I guess that means this time it's really over
I could tell her with that old guitar
