Capo 1st fret
Intro
G Cm G Cm
Verse one
G Cm Dsus D C
Cry, cry out your eyes for ever, It won't go away
G Cm Dsus D C
I, I'm just a dumb observer, It's so stupid what I say
Chorus
G G7
Like every one else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Dm Fm Em7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up
Dm7 G C C7
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
Verse two
And so, nobody lives forever, the crassest of clique
Like time, time is the greatest healer, but its a murderer a day
Repeat Chorus
Mid 8
C7(Still from last chord of the chorus) Em7 F
You know me holding you won't change anything,
Em7 F
I can't stop this whole charade continuing,
G F
As each consoling kiss remains on your face,
Dm G C C7
Like a stamp........
Verse three
So cry, cry out those tears and let them, succumb to gravity
And try, try as I might I'll never, fill that vacancy
Last Chorus (A little different to the others at the end)
G G7
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you,
Dm Fm Em7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up,
Dm7 G C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes,
C7 Em7
Someday your gonna wake up,
F G C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
