That's how she let me know
It's all over
I remember all those nights
Sittin' 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
She told me when I wasn't there
And she would wake up feelin' scared
She'd hold it in her arms and be ok
Katie brought my guitar back today

We had our stormy 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 ol' guitar
But I'm afraid this time things have gone too far

Katie brought my guitar back today
I guess that means this time
It's really over
As I sit and play it now
The songs all seem so sad somehow
Wish she'd just thrown that thing away
But Katie brought my guitar back today

I remember all those nights
Sittin' in fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
But Katie brought my guitar back today
