[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
C# Bm
Watching the wings cut through the clouds
C# Bm G#
Watching the raindrops blinking red and white
C# Bm
Thinking of you back on the ground
C# Bm G#
That willful fire burning in your eyes
C# Bm G#
I only halfway apologize
[Chorus: Mike]
C#
And I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
Sometimes things refuse
G#
To go the way we planned
C#
Oh I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
There will be a day
G#
That you will understand
C#
You will understand
[Verse 2: Mike]
C# Bm
After a while you may forget
C# Bm G#
But just in case the memories cross your mind
C# Bm
You couldn't know this when I left
C# Bm G#
Under the fire of your angry eyes
C# Bm G#
I never wanted to say goodbye
[Chorus: Mike]
C#
And I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
Sometimes things refuse
G#
To go the way we planned
C#
Oh I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
There will be a day
G#
That you will understand
C#
You will understand
[Bridge: Chester]
C#
Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up
Bm
Tried to call home but nobody could wake up
F#
Switch your time zones can't pick the bass up
G#
I just passed out by the time you wake up
C#
Best things come to those who wait
Bm
And it's time to get pumped on any road you take
F#
Don't ever have a problem make no mistake
G#
I can't wait to come back when I'm going away
[Outro: Mike & (Chester)]
C#
And I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
Sometimes things refuse
G#
To go the way we planned
C#
Oh I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
There will be a day
G#
That you will understand
C#
Oh I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F# G#
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
C#
(Things we have to do that we can't stand)
C#
Oh I'll be sorry for now
Bm
That I couldn't be around
F#
There will be a day
G#
That you will understand
G#
You will understand
G#
You will understand
G#
You will understand
