Sometimes it Be That Way
                                 
   Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
                                                            *G*
   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
                                       
   And 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
                                    
   And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears
                                       GG*      GG*
   They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs
                                         
   And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this
                                        
   Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss
                                  
   And I'm sorry for all the times
                                                 
   I forgot to imply something in between the lines
                                                
   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 shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall
                                    
   Electricity chases its tail in the hall
                                                
   And I'm sorry if my arms to you were just empty rooms
                                    
   I'm sorry I never could comfort you


                                                   
 And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town-
                                     
   And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down
                                                
   And I'm sorry if I caused you pain
                           
   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 never served you 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 it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
                                    *G*
   Oh well, sometimes it be that way
