C#                                    D#m
Watching the wings cut through the clouds
A#m                              F#
Watching the raindrops blinking red and white
C#                            D#m
Thinking of you back on the ground
             A#m          G#       F#
There with a fire burning in your eyes
       A#m     G#    F#
I only halfway apologized

Chorus:
             C#
And I'll be sorry for now
        D#m
That I couldn't be around
           A#m
Sometimes things refuse
                  F#
To go the way we planned
            C#
Oh I'll be sorry for now
        D#m
That I couldn't be around
           A#m
There will be a day
                    F#
That you will understand
               C#
You will understand

After a while you may forget
But just in case the memories cross your mind
You couldn't know this when I left
Under the fire of your angry eyes
I never wanted to say goodbye

Chorus

     C#
Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up
 D#m
Tried to call home but nobody could wait up
 A#m
Switch your time zones can't pick the pace up
   F#
I just passed out by the time you wake up
C#
Best things come to those who wait
         D#m
And it's bound to get rough on any road you take
              A#m
But don't you ever have a doubt and make no mistake
        F#
I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

Chorus:
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have
To do that we can't stand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have
To do that we can't stand
(Things we have to do that we can't stand)
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
You will understand
You will understand
You will understand
