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
