Title: Sometime It Be That Way
Album: This Way
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.

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
D G (G)
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
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
D A G (G)
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
A D (G)
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
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
A D (G)
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
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
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
