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...
