"Are You Sorry Now?"

Music & Lyrics by Peter Yoon & Chris Dunn May 16, 2007

C G7
Time can't change and the future's frozen
C/E C
All the past leads to where we are
C G7
We regret, 'tho we cannot change it
C/E C
'Tho our hearts may receive a scar.
C G7
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.
C/E C
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.
C G7
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.
C/E C
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.

(And Tommy* sez:)
G F
Time present and Time past
C4 G6
Are both, perhaps, in Time future, too.
G F
So Time future is in the past Time
C4 G6
And is frozen for me and you.

C G7
When we planned to be forever
C/E C
We were babies and didn't know
C G7
When forever becomes a lifetime
C/E C
Times moves faster when life is slow.
C G7
In the breeze with the scent of flowers
C/E C
Is the smell of the Earth in Spring
C G7
Green exploding and mothers birthing

C/E G7
Warm and golden, the Sun is king.

G F
Time present and Time past
C4 G6
Are both, perhaps, in Time future, too.
G F
So Time future is in the past Time
C4 G6
And is frozen for me and you.
G F
And if Time can't be redeem-ed
C4 G6
We'll be sorry for all or none
G F
If we only keep on trying
C4 G6
In the end we will know we've won.

C G7
Time can't change and the future's frozen
C/E C
All the past leads to where we are
C G7
We regret, 'tho we cannot change it
C/E C
'Tho our hearts may receive a scar.
C G7
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.
C/E C
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.
C G7
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.
C/E C
Are you sorry now? Don't be sorry now.

*( see T.S. Eliot's "Burnt Norton")
