verse:
(pm)
G+G 
C/GC/G G+G
Oh the birds are ringing in the opening act of spring
E minorEm 
A minorAm C/G-D-G
And I have fallen down and I'm so much worse than I have ever been
G+G C/GC/G G+G
Oh the season's acting strange and I know that something has to change
E minorEm A minorAm C/G-D-G
But there is no path I can choose that will not bring somebody pain
chorus:
D/F#D/F# 
D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G+G A minorAm G+G D/F#D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh Please forgive me for the things that I must do
D/F#D/F# D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G+G A minorAm G+G D/F#D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you
INTRO RIFF
verse:
G+G C/GC/G G+G
Oh the clouds have gathered thick and in my stomach I feel sick
E minorEm A minorAm C/G-D-G
And I have all this drive and no idea what I should do with it
G+G C/GC/G G+G
But they say there is a calm after the passing of the storm
E minorEm A minorAm C/G-D-G
So I can dream of going back outside when the rain and thunder's done
chorus:
D/F#D/F# D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G+G A minorAm G+G D/F#D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh Please forgive me for the things that I must do
D/F#D/F# D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G+G A minorAm G+G D/F#D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh I have hurt so many people it was never my intention to hurt you
bridge:
G+G D MajorD
And you know the old folks say, they can tell which way the rivers flowing
A minorAm C/GC/G
Tell which way the wind is blow—ing, by watching careful for the...
G+G A minorAm
Signs among the little things: The barking dogs, the birds on wing
G+G D MajorD
And I am deaf and blind and I can't say if I can change
A minorAm C/GC/G
the patterns that have caused you pain, for I was raised in suburbs
G+G A minorAm
Sheltered from the sun and rain far away from subtle season's change
INTRO RIFF
verse:
(pm)
G+G C/GC/G G+G
Oh baby I will read about the buzzing of the bees
E minorEm A minorAm C/G-D-G
About the grass and snakes and spawning lakes and the different types of trees
G+G C/GC/G G+G
And I will find a way that leads from cruel April into May
E minorEm A minorAm C/G-D-G
And someday soon it will be June and you'll decide to stay
chorus:
D/F#D/F# D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G+G A minorAm G+G D/F#D/F#
Oh oh oh-oh oh please forgive me for the things that I have done
D/F#D/F# D/ED/E D/F#D/F# G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh oh oh-oh oh I will carry your umbrella in the summer
D/F#D/F#
And I'll shade you from the sun
