GD
Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
CG *G*
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
GD
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
CG
I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
DG
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
DG
And I swear to God it won't happen again
DDCC
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
DGG
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
DC
And Romeo was a very nice man
GGGG
He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
DC
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
GD
I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
GD
And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
GD
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
DCC
And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
DDGG
Oh well, sometimes It be that way
Chorus:
D/AG
I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
D/AG
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
D/AGAA
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
DDGG
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
GD
And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
CG
Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp
GD
And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you
CG
I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you
DG
And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
DG
Could get across these simple things
DDC
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
DDGG
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
DC
And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears
GG GG* GG*
They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs
DC
And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this
GD
Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss
GD
And I'm sorry for all the times
GD
I forgot to imply something in between the lines
DCC
And i'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
DDGG
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
Chorus:
I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
GD
And shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall
CG
Electricity chases its tail in the hall
GD
And 'm sorry if my arms to you were just empty rooms
CG
I'm sorry I never could comfort you
DG
And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town-
DG
And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down
DDC
And I'm sorry if I caused you pain
CDDGG
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
GD
And flame licks the air with its silver tongue
CG
Night has many hands but I have just one
GD
And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
CG
I'm sorry I never served you Camomile tea
DG
And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match
DG
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch
DDC
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
CDDG *G*
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
