[Intro]

   G       D       C        G

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


[Chorus]
     G       D  A            G
     I said "Oh well, I got nothing 
left to sell
           D         A            
     This love was a bell that 
     G
rang unheard in the air
            D             A       
     I was bound to find out that 
      G            (G)
you didn't care
         A                         
     Oh well, sometimes it be that 
D                 (G)
way

   G                      D
   And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
   C                           G
   Kissed Neptune they put her face 
on a stamp
   And I'm sorry I used it to mail a
 D
 letter to you
   C                              
   I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest 
G
bounces off of you
        D                       
   I'm sorry not even this jet's 
 G
metal wings
   D                      G
   Could get across these simple 
things
             D                     
   And I'm sorry if I ever sang 
         C
your name in vain
      D                          G
   Oh well, sometimes it be that 
               (G)
way


[Chorus]
     G       D  A            G
     I said "Oh well, I got nothing 
left to sell
           D         A            
     This love was a bell that 
     G
rang unheard in the air
            D             A       
     I was bound to find out that 
      G
you didn't care
              A                    
     Said Oh well, sometimes it be 
     D           (G)
that way

   G                               
   And flame licks the air with its
 D
 silver tongue
    C                         G
   Night has many hands but I have 
just one
   And I'm sorry I walked in on you 
D
unexpectedly
        C                          
   I'm sorry I didn't serve you 
  G
both 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                 
   And I'm sorry if my swerve 
                C
tempted you to sway
       D                         G
   Oh well, sometimes it be that 
              (G)
way


[Chorus]
     G       D  A            G
     I said "Oh well, I got nothing 
left to sell
           D         A            
     This love was a bell that 
     G
rang unheard in the air
            D             A       
     I was bound to find out that 
      G
you didn't care
         A                         
     Oh well, sometimes it be that 
D
way
         A                         
     Oh well, sometimes it be that 
D
way
