[Verse 1]
D5
And so,
( D5 )
That's how
( D5 ) B5
Stories like this usually start
G5
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]
D5
You can't un-ring a bell
( D5 )
You can't un-tell a story
B5
You can't un-break a heart
G5
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
D5
If there's a chance in hell
( D5 )
For a moment's glory
B5
I'll be so glad to tell you
G5
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
[Instrumental]
D5 , B5 , G5
[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]
B5 G5
Oh can it come the moment of the fallen down, the pickin' up
D5 A5
The pieces we long to repair
B5 G5
Can the kindness of your strong heart make a harbour for a man's mistakes
D5 A5
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
[Outro]
D5 , B5 , G5
