Oh the birds are ringing[C/G] in the opening act of spring
And I have fallen down and I’m so much worse than I hav[C/G-D-G]e ever been
Oh the season’s acting [C/G]strange and I know that something has to change
But there is no path I can choose that will not brin[C/G-D-G]g somebody pain
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh oh Please forgive me for the things that I must[D/F#] do
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh oh I have hurt so many people it was never my i[D/F#]ntention to hurt you

Oh the clouds have gathered [C/G]thick and in my stomach I feel sick
And I have all this drive and no idea what I shou[C/G-D-G]ld do with it
But they say there is a [C/G]calm after the passing of the storm
So I can dream of going back outside when the rain [C/G-D-G]and thunder’s done
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh oh Please forgive me for the things that I must[D/F#] do
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh oh I have hurt so many people it was never my i[D/F#]ntention to hurt you
And you know the old folks say, they can tell which way the rivers flowing
Tell which way the wind is blow’ing[C/G], by watching careful for the…
Signs among the little things: The barking dogs, the birds on wing
And I am deaf and blind and I can’t say if I can change
the patterns that have caused you pain, [C/G]for I was raised in suburbs
Sheltered from the sun and rain far away from subtle season’s change

Oh baby I will [C/G]read about the buzzing of the bees
About the grass and snakes and spawning lakes and the differe[C/G-D-G]nt types of trees
And I will find a [C/G]way that leads from cruel April into May
And someday soon it will be June and you’ll[C/G-D-G] decide to stay
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh oh please forgive me for the things that I have[D/F#] done
[D/F#]Oh [D/E]oh [D/F#]oh-oh oh I will carry your umbrella in the summer
And I’ll shade you from the [D/F#]sun
