[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
