Sometimes It Be That Way by Jewel
Sometimes It Be That Way
Capo:no capo
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
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
C C
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

USE CAPO -- BARRE 2nd FRET
BASICALLY LISTEN FOR BEAT AND QUICK CHANGES
------------------
version 2
Capo:2nd fret
The chords written above the lyrics are generally right. When you listen
to the song, you'll hear the extra notes.
On the D's, just go back and forth from a D to a Dsus4.
The c's go from C to C9 (i think it's a c9)
The G's lift your 1st and 2nd fingers to hit the strings open, follow the
rhythm.
