[Intro]

   G       D       C        G

   G                              D
   Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
             C                        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                                             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
   G               D
   And Romeo was a very nice man
            C                        G
   He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
           G                   D
   And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
       C                            G
   I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
           D                    G
   And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
   D                         G
   Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
           D                                       C
   And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
       D                         G         (G)
   Oh well, sometimes It be that way


[Chorus]
     G       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            (G)
     I was bound to find out that you didn't care
         A                         D                 (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
                                     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
   I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
   D                      G
   Could get across these simple things
             D                              C
   And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
      D                          G               (G)
   Oh well, sometimes it be that way


[Chorus]
     G       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
     I was bound to find out that you didn't care
              A                         D           (G)
     Said 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
                                    D
   And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
        C                            G
   I'm sorry I didn't serve you both 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                                 C
   And I'm sorry if my swerve tempted you to sway
       D                         G              (G)
   Oh well, sometimes it be that way


[Chorus]
     G       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
     I was bound to find out that you didn't care
         A                         D
     Oh well, sometimes it be that way
         A                         D
     Oh well, sometimes it be that way
