Katie brought my guitar back today
That's how she let me know that it's all over
I remember all those nights
Sitting in the fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
But Katie brought my guitar back today
Katie brought my guitar back today
I've seen it make her cry over and over
Then she let go of me

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