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