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