A:  x02220

[Verse 1]
DAnd (xx0232@1)so,
(D)
That's how
(D)                         BmStories (x24432@1)like this usually start
                  GFast (320003@1)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]
    DYou (xx0232@1)can't un-ring a bell
(D)
You can't un-tell a story
    BmYou (x24432@1)can't un-break a heart
   GI'm (320003@1)sorry, I'm sorry
    DIf (xx0232@1)there's a chance in hell
(D)
For a moment's glory
     BmI'll (x24432@1)be so glad to tell you
   GI'm (320003@1)sorry, I'm sorry

[Instrumental]
D, Bm, G

[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]
   Bm (x24432@1)                          GOh (320003@1)can it come the moment of the fallen down, the pickin' up
     D (xx0232@1)                AThe (x02220@1)pieces we long to repair
        Bm (x24432@1)                                 GCan (320003@1)the kindness of your strong heart make a harbour for a man's mistakes
   D (xx0232@1)                        ATo (x02220@1)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]
D, Bm, G

[End on D]
