Katy brought my guitar back today
I left it there to play, when I'd stay over
And I remember all those nights
Sitting in the fireplace light,
And how she loved to hear me play;
Katy brought my guitar back today

Katy 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 okay;
Katy brought my guitar back today

We had our stormy times like anybody else;
Oh, more than once I broke her heart
And when I couldn't tell her I was sorry by myself;
I could tell her with an old guitar
But, I'm afraid this time things have gone too far

Katy brought my guitar back today
I guess that means this time it's really over
And as I sit and play it now,
The songs all seem so sad, somehow,
I wish that I'd of left it in the case
Katy brought my guitar back today

And I remember all those nights
Sitting in the fireplace light,
And how she loved to hear me play;
Katy brought my guitar back today
