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 .
