Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak

  My pen is present but courage left via the sink

  And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind

  I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme

  And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins

  And I swear to God it won't happen again

  And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway

  Oh well, sometimes it be that way

  And Romeo was a very nice man

  He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"

  And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this

  I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss

  And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently

  Down in the hollow by the old olive tree

  And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day

  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

  And Aphrodite with her neon lamp

  Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp

  And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you

  I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you

  I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings

  Could get across these simple things

  And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain

  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

  Said Oh well, sometimes it be that way

  And flame licks the air with its silver tongue

  Night has many hands but I have just one

  And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly

  I'm sorry I didn't serve you both Camomile tea

  And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match

  That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch

  And I'm sorry if my swerve tempted you to sway

  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

  Oh well, sometimes it be that way
