Primeira Parte:
C                                     Dm
 Watching the wings cut through the clouds
Am                                 F
  Watching the raindrops blinking red and white
C                              Dm
 Thinking of you back on the ground
              Am          G       F
There with a fire burning in your eyes
        Am       G   F
I only halfway apologized

[Chorus]
             C
And I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
Sometimes things refuse
                   F
To go the way we planned
            C
Oh I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
There will be a day
                     F
That you will understand
                C
You will understand

(C)

Segunda Parte:
C                          Dm
 After a while you may forget
Am                                F
  But just in case the memories cross your mind
C                               Dm
 You couldn't know this when I left
           Am          G     F
Under the fire of your angry eyes
         Am        G       F
I never wanted to say goodbye

Refrão:
             C
And I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
           Am
Sometimes things refuse
                   F
To go the way we planned
            C
Oh I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
There will be a day
                     F
That you will understand
                C
You will understand

Ponte:
  C
Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up
  Dm
Tried to call home but nobody could wait up
  Am
Switch your time zones can't pick the pace up
   F
I just passed out by the time you wake up
C
 Best things come to those who wait
          Dm
And it's bound to get rough on any road you take
              Am
But don't you ever have a doubt and make no mistake
         F
I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

Refrão Final:
            C
So I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
There are things we have to do
                F
that we can't stand
            C
Oh I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
There will be a day that
                F
you will understand
            C
So I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
There are things we have to do
                F
that we can't stand
            C
Oh I'll be sorry for now
        Dm
That I couldn't be around
            Am
There will be a day that
                F
you will understand
                C       Dm
You will understand
                Am      F
You will understand
                C
You will understand
