Verse 1
(G major) I'm (D major) really sorry (G major) , Steven,
(A major) (D major) but your (F sharp major) bicycle's been stolen. (B minor) (G major)
I was (D major) watching it for you 'til
you (E major) came back in the fall. (G major)
I guess I (E major) didn't do such a good job af (G major) ter all.
I was (D major) feeling really sorry, (G major) Steven,
(A major) (D major) and I spent (F sharp major) all morning grieving.

outside the (F sharp major) Orange Street Food Farm. (B minor)
I was just running in (G major) ,

Leashed up to the place (G major) where
your bicycle had been. (D major)
I guess we'll (G major) never see poor (A major) Madelline again. (D major)
(G major) (A major) (D major)

(A major) (D major) that all (F sharp major) the while you were in England, (B minor) (G major)
I treated (D major) her with care and respect
(E major) and gave her lots of love, (G major)
And I was (E major) usually pretty good 'bout lock
(G major) ing her up. (B minor) Where has she gone? (G major)
Well, I bet (D major) she's on the bottom of the (F sharp major) French Town Pond,
(B minor) rudely abused (G major) on some heshner (D major) 's joy ride. (A major)
(B minor) So I wrote you this song (G major) in the hopes (D major) that you'd
forgive me even (F sharp major) though it was wrong, (B minor)
Being so care (G major) less with a thing so great (D major) and (G major) taking your
poor (A major) Madeline (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) away.
