[Verse 1]
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
How she loved to hear me play
Katy brought my guitar back today

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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'da left it in the case
Katy brought my guitar back today
[Outro]
And I remember all those nights
Sitting in the fireplace light
And how she loved to hear me play
But Katy brought my guitar back today
