[Intro]
A  Bm11  C#m/A  Dadd9
A  Bm11  C#m/A  Bm11
[Verse 1]
ASometimes...
They say that Bm11love is blind
But I C#m/Athink dumb is what they Dadd9had in mind
I could Alet it go, but I'd Bm11rather know
If I C#m/Asit around, will Bm11another show
[Verse 2]
ASometimes...
I get to Bm11fly so high
That the C#m/Asun burns my wings, but Dadd9I will fly
       A                     Bm/11    
Just a little too far, cause that's where you are
And C#m/AI won't bring you down, Bm11believe in me
[Verse 3]
ASometimes...
I like to Bm11sit around
I'm just C#m/Acontemplating Dadd9sitting round
I could Astay in bed, like my Bm11momma said
Don't just C#m/Ado something, sit Bm11around instead
[Verse 4]
ASometimes...
If I may Bm11say myself
I'm not C#m/Abad at life, I'm not Dadd9good as well
           A                   Bm/11
And though life goes on, I can plainly see
Just what C#m/Ais it for, if it's Bm11not for me
[Verse 5]
ASometimes...
Though it's a Bm11big surprise
I may C#m/Acompromise the thing I Dadd9most desire
I can Asay with pride, hold my Bm11head up high
That I C#m/Ahad a great idea but Bm11nevermind
[Bridge]
Oh Ababe...
I'm going Bnowhere, Dnowhere is where EI wanna AbeE  
And Ababe...
And I'm good for Bnothing
DNothing is Egood enough for AmeE  
DAnything, anything can come to Aanybody
D7Everything, everything can come to Asomeone, Esometime
Oh Ababe...
I'm good for noBthing
DNothing is Egood enough for Ame E  
DAnything, anything can come to Aanybody
D7Everything, everything can come to Asomeone, Esometime
[Verse 6]
ASometimes...
OpporBm11tunity passes C#m/Aright by me didn't Dadd9even slow,
I can't Abreathe and think and I Bm11need a drink,
All this C#m/Acommon sense made a Bm11fool of me
[Verse 7]
ASometimes...
I like to Bm11sit around
I'm just C#m/Acontemplating Dadd9sitting round
I can Astay in bed like my Bm11momma said
Don't just C#m/Ado something, sit Bm11around instead
[Verse 8]
ASometimes...
I get to Bm11fly so high
That the C#m/Asun burns my wings, but Dadd9I will fly
       A                     Bm/11    
Just a little too far, cause that's where you are
And C#m/AI won't bring you down, Bm11believe in me
[Verse 9]
ASometimes...
I get me Bm11all confused, 
And the C#m/Areasons why are Dadd9confusing too
I could Abe with you, try to Bm11sort it out
If I C#m/Atell the truth, I like to Bm11lie about
[Verese 10]
ASometimes...
Though it's a Bm11big surprise
I may C#m/Acompromise the thing I Dadd9most desire
I can Asay with pride, hold my Bm11head up high
That I C#m/Ahad a great idea but Bm11nevermind
[Verse 11]
ASometimes...
I like to Bm11sit around
and just C#m/Acontemplating Dadd9sitting round
Although Alife goes on, I can Bm11plainly see
All this C#m/Acommon sense made a Bm11fool of me
