Bm               D
I don't mean to be so insolent
G                 Em
But you know it's cause I love ya
Bm                D
The foundation of my malevolence
G                           Em
You know I'd never hurt you, babe
Bm                    D
Sometimes I might get edgy
G                     Em
But a man can sometimes be that way
Bm               D
Nobody's perfect, baby
G                    Em
And I'll always love you, anyway


[Chorus]

Bm   A
Oh, Gabrielle
G                   Em
The sun is shining in your eyes
Bm      A
Oh, Gabrielle
G                 F#m
I didn't mean to make you cry
Bm           A
Oh, my sweet baby doll
G            Em
I put you above everything
Bm   A
Oh, Gabrielle
G                      F#m
I'll love you 'til the day I die
