AOh the birds are ringing Din the opening act of spAring
And I have faF#mllen down and I'm Bmso much worse than DI have ever bAeen
Oh the sAeason's acting straDnge and I know that something has to cAhange
But there is F#mno path I can chBmoose that will not brDing somebody pAain
EOh E7oh F#moh oDh Please forBmgive me for the Athings that I must dEo
EOh E7oh F#moh oDh I have hBmurt so many pAeople it was neEver my intention to hurt yoAu
INTRO RIFF
A D D A F#m Bm D A
AOh the clouds have gathered tDhick and in my stomach I feel siAck
And I have F#mall this drive andBm no idea what DI should do with Ait
But they Asay there is a cDalm after the passing of the Astorm
So I can dF#mream of going bBmack outside when the rDain and thunder's dAone
EOh E7oh F#moh oDh Please forBmgive me for the Athings that I must dEo
EOh E7oh F#moh oDh I have hBmurt so many pAeople it was neEver my intention to hurt yoAu
And you know the oEld folks say, they can tBmell which way the rivers flowing
BmTell which way the wind is blow—iDng, but watching caAreful for the...
BmSigns among the little things: The barking dogs, the birds on wingA
And I am dEeaf and blind and BmI can't say if I can change
Bmthe patterns that have caused you paiDn, for I was rAaised in suburbs
BmSheltered from the sun and rain far away from subtle season's change
INTRO RIFF
A D D A F#m Bm D A
AOh baby I will reDad about the buzzing of the beAes
About the gF#mrass and snakes and sBmpawning lakes and the Ddifferent types of trAees
And I wiAll find a way that leads from Dcruel April into AMay
And sF#momeday soon it Bmwill be June and Dyou'll decide to sAtay
-CHORUS-
EOh E7oh F#moh oDh please forBmgive me for the Athings that I have dEone
EOh E7oh F#moh oDh I will cBmarry your umbArella in the suEmmer
And I'll shade you from the sAun
