 Play that through once (repeating each twice) and then play them again (repeating each twice) but with the 1st intro riff

      A*          Dmaj7   E6         A
 Can sleep in the city,  you're far away
     A*              Dmaj7            E6            A             
 Cigarettes keep you skinny, and your mind off the rain
     A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,
     A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,
 A*            Dmaj7          E6           A
 Feelings are distant, and I know guilt by name
             A*     Dmaj7           E6        A
 It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
    A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,
     A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,
  
 CHORUS:

  E            Dmaj7             E
 Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
                 Dmaj7                    A
 Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye,
 E              Dmaj7              E
 We once had it all but events conspired
           Dmaj7   A
 Oh Some - times,

 VERSE 2:
       A*      Dmaj7               E6         A
 Good morning sweet thing, you're safe in my hands,
 A*      Dmaj7      E6      A         
 I am no saint, but I understand,

 A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,
     A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,

 CHORUS 2:

 Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
                 Dmaj7                    A
 Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye,
 E              Dmaj7              E
 We once had it all but events conspired
           Dmaj7   A
 Oh Some - times,
 E                  Dmaj7        E
 And now that it is over, it is through,
                  C#m             F#m
 It gets me every time I think of you,
               Dmaj7            E
 Sometimes it happens feelings die,
           Dmaj7  
 Oh some - times,

 VERSE 3:
 A*          Dmaj7      E6           A
 I miss your warm skin beside me at night,
     A*          Dmaj7  E6           A      
 And I miss your flesh, in the dawn light,

  A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,
     A*    Dmaj7   E6     A
 Oh some - times, some - times,

 Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye,

 We once had it all but events conspired
           Dmaj7   A
 Oh Some - times,
 E        Dmaj7              E
 Saturns decline in my star sign,
           Dmaj7                A
 Seasonal adjustments, stars re-align,
 E              Dmaj7            E
 Sometimes it happens feelings die,
           Dmaj7   A
 Oh some - times,
 E      Dmaj7
 Some - times
