Sometimes it Be That Way
G D
Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak
C G *G*
My pen is present but courage left via the sink
G D
And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind
C G
I'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme
D G
And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins
D G
And I swear to God it won't happen again
D D C C
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
D C
And Romeo was a very nice man
G G G G
He said "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand"
D C
And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this
G D
I'm sorry I was a point you were destined to miss
G D
And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently
G D
Down in the hollow by the old olive tree
D C C
And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes It be that way
Chorus:
D/A G
I said "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell
D/A G
This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air
D/A G A A
I was bound to find out that you didn't care
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
G D
And Aphrodite with her neon lamp
C G
Kissed Neptune they put her face on a stamp
G D
And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you
C G
I'm sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you
D G
And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings
D G
Could get across these simple things
D D C
And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain
D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
D C
And Goldilocks, well she knew three bears
G G GG* GG*
They all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs
D C
And I'm sorry I never got to find you like this
G D
Sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss
G D
And I'm sorry for all the times
G D
I forgot to imply something in between the lines
D C C
And i'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day
D 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
G D
And shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall
C G
Electricity chases its tail in the hall
G D
And I'm sorry if my arms to you were just empty rooms
C G
I'm sorry I never could comfort you
D G
And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is a miserable town-
D G
And I'm sorry if I am bringing you down
D D C
And I'm sorry if I caused you pain
C D D G G
Oh well, sometimes it be that way
G D
And flame licks the air with its silver tongue
C G
Night has many hands but I have just one
G D
And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly
C G
I'm sorry I never served you Camomile tea
D G
And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match
D G
That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch
D D C
And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway
C D D G *G*
Oh well, sometimes it be that way

| I'm surprised no one has commented on this song yet - along with Grey Matter, it's one of the best songs on This Way, lyrically and otherwise. She creates an amazing bunch of analogies throughout the tune...basically what it all comes down to is best said by Jewel in an Mp3 I have of her, right before she sings this live. "This is a song about breaking up...not that I was bitter....*sarcastically*" | |

| I actually think she also brings the sarcastic introduction into how she feels in the song. i think she's saying sorry in a sarcastic way and basically that the things he made a big deal about were so petty that she doesn't really care and she saying sometimes it be that way meaning whattever it happens so get over it. At least that's how i see it. | |

| I have that same Mp3 of this song and it never fails to crack me up! I definitely recommend this song. It is by far one of my absolute favorites of Jewel's...she has such an interesting style of writing | |

| The particular version of "Sometimes It Be That Way" that you guys are talking about, is from the Swedish radio show "P3 Live". It was recorded in October '97, when Jewel held a concert at Konserthuset, Stockholm. And especially this version of "Sometimes It Be That Way" is WONDERFUL. Actually, I think this is the best recorded concert of Jewel there is. Her voice is on it's peak and the sound quality is top notch. | |
