-VERSE-
                         C(pm)
Oh the birds are ringing in
                     G5(pm)
The opening act of spring
            Em(pm)             Am(pm)              C(pm)  D/F#(pm) G5
And I have fallen down and I'm so much worse than I have ever      been

                        C(pm)
Oh the season's acting strange
                                  G5(pm)
And I know that something has to change
             Em(pm)         Am(pm)               C(pm)     D/F#(pm) G5
But there is no path I can choose that will not bring somebody      pain


-CHORUS-
D         D/F#  G5
O-------h oh oh oh
          Am               G5               D
Please forgive me for the things that I must do
D         D/F#  G5
O-------h oh oh oh
        Am           G5            D                          INTRO RIFF
I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you

C G5
Em Am
C D/F#

G5(pm)

-VERSE-
                             C(pm)
Oh the clouds have gathered thick
                          G5(pm)
And in my stomach I feel sick
           Em(pm)             Am(pm)       C(pm)    D/F#(pm) G5
And I have all this drive and no idea what I should do with  it

                         C(pm)
But they say there is a calm
                          G5(pm)
After the passing of the storm
          Em(pm)         Am(pm)                C(pm)   D/F#(pm)  G5
So I can dream of going back outside when the rain and thunder's done


-CHORUS-
D         D/F#  G5
O-------h oh oh oh
          Am               G5               D
Please forgive me for the things that I must do
D         D/F#  G5
O-------h oh oh oh
        Am           G5            D                          G
I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you


-BRIDGE-
           D/F#
I know the old folks say
          Am
They can tell which way the weathers going
                                   C
Tell which way the wind is blowing

          G
Watching careful for the
 Am
Signs among the little thing
                                    G
The barking dogs, the birds on wing

     D/F#
I am deaf and blind
    Am
And I can't say if I can change
                                C
Patterns that have caused you pain 

             G
Well, I was raised in subrubs
Am
Sheltered from the sun and rain
               C               INTRO RIFF
Far away from subtle season's change

C G5
Em Am
C D/F#

G5(pm)

-VERSE-
    G5(pm)       C(pm)
Oh baby I will read
                         G5(pm)
About the buzzing of the bees
           Em(pm)                Am(pm)                C(pm)    D/F#(pm)  G5
About the grass and snakes and spawning lakes and the different types of tress

    G5(pm)         C(pm)
And I will find a way
                                  G5
That leads from cruel April into May
     Em              Am               C        D/F#     G5
And someday soon it will be June and you'll decide to  stay

-CHORUS-
D         D/F#  G5
O-------h oh oh oh
          Am               G5                D
Please forgive me for the things that I have done
D         D/F#  G5
O-------h oh oh oh
        Am           G5            D
I will carry your umbrella in the summer
                             INTRO RIFF
And I'll shade you from the sun

C G5
Em Am
C D/F#
G5~
