Sometimes it Be That Way

      G                       D
   Night with its shattered teeth 
attempts to speak
    C                         G
   My pen is present but courage 
               *G*
left via the sink
         G                         
   And I'm sorry I snuck up on you 
    D
from behind
       C                      G
   I'm sorry not all my love letters
 did rhyme
   D                              
   And I'm sorry that Jesus died for
G
 my sins
        D                     
   And I swear to God it won't 
         G
happen again
     D                             
   And I'm sorry if it was my 
                       D     C   C
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              
   He said "Jewel, I don't think 
      G          G
you quite understand"
     D                        
   And I'm sorry if you had to 
                   C
explain it like this
          G                        
   I'm sorry I was a point you were
               D
 destined to miss
        G                      
   And I'm sorry I spoke to you 
         D
irreverently
       G                        
   Down in the hollow by the old 
         D
olive tree
       D                    
   And I'm sorry if my heart 
                     C         C
breaking ruined your day
     D  D      G               G
   Oh well, sometimes It be that way

   Chorus:
                 D/A         
       I said "Oh well, I got 
   G
nothing left to sell
                D/A             
       This love was a bell that 
    G
rang unheard in the air

       I was bound to find out 
               A         A
that you didn't care
        D     D         G         
       Oh well, sometimes it be that
 G
 way
    G                             D
   And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
     C                             
  Kissed Neptune they put her face 
     G
on a stamp
           G                       
   And I'm sorry I used it to mail 
                 D
a letter to you
                    C              
   I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest 
                  G
bounces off of you
            D                      
   And I'm sorry not even this 
     G
jet's metal wings
          D                     
   Could get across these simple 
       G
things
      D                   D       
   And I'm sorry if I ever sang 
           C
your name in vain
   D      D        G             G
   Oh well, sometimes it be that way
       D                        
   And Goldilocks, well she knew 
 C
three bears
      G           G               
   They all ate oatmeal and 
GG*      GG*
tiptoed upstairs
      D                            
   And I'm sorry I never got to 
  C
find you like this
      G                           
   Sleeping like a baby and swaddled
D
 in bliss
       G                         D
   And I'm sorry for all the times
         G                       
   I forgot to imply something in 
            D
between the lines
       D                  C
   And i'm sorry if my heart 
                     C
breaking ruined your day
      D      D          G        
   Oh well, sometimes it be that 
    G
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                       
   And shadow's long fingers they 
                D
dance on the wall
         C                       
   Electricity chases its tail in 
    G
the hall
           G                     
   And 'm sorry if my arms to you 
                D
were just empty rooms
            C                      
   I'm sorry I never could comfort 
  G
you

           D                       
 And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a 
         G
miserable town-
           D                     
   And I'm sorry if I am bringing 
  G
you down
      D    D                   
   And I'm sorry if I caused you 
    C
pain
      C    D  D      G         G
   Oh well, sometimes it be that way
    G                              
   And flame licks the air with its
          D
 silver tongue
          C                        
   Night has many hands but I have 
        G
just one
            G                      
   And I'm sorry I walked in on you
                D
 unexpectedly
               C               
   I'm sorry I never served you 
               G
Camomile tea
          D                     
   And I'm sorry I didn't always 
            G
have a match
     D                        
   That could start a fire big 
                       G
enough for your heart to catch
      D                     D     
   And I'm sorry if it was my 
                        C
swerve that tempted you to sway
   C   D     D      G           
   Oh well, sometimes it be that
       *G*
