Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
And so,
That's how
Stories like this usually start
Fast forward to a broken heart
Verse 2
And then a rainy day
And the memory of your smile
Takes me over and sets me back down
Tells me to stay true in all this
Chorus
You can't un-ring a bell
You can't un-tell a story
You can't un-break a heart
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
If there's a chance in hell
For a moment's glory
I'll be so glad to tell you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Instrumental
Verse 3
And so, it seems
As though our song is sung
It's over now
What's done is done
Verse 4
But if it takes a while
That you remain
Partial to a moment when
You and I might make amends
Chorus
You can't un-ring a bell
You can't un-tell a story
You can't un-break a heart
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
If there's a chance in hell
For a moment's glory
I'll be so glad to tell you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bridge
Oh can it come the moment of the fallen down, the pickin' up
The pieces we long to repair
Can the kindness of your strong heart make a harbour for a man's mistakes
To ghosts in her eyes to have cleared
Chorus
(No guitar on this part of the chorus)
You can't un-ring a bell
You can't un-tell a story
You can't un-break a heart
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
(Guitar starts again here)
You can't un-ring a bell
You can't un-tell a story
You can't un-break a heart
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
If there's a chance in hell
For a moment's glory
I'll be so glad to tell you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
