I didn't know what the day was I didn't know what time it was
I didn't know what my [D] heart would do I [Fm]
[F] was afraid of nothing when [E] you called
Me on the [Am] telephone I was a creature of [A] appetite
When we played a game [E] that you didn't [Am] like There was a lot that I [D] couldn't do
I can be so bad I can be so bad
You [F] just took it away and broke [E] it in two
[Am] Cry out my heart Cry out my heart
Make it [A] stop Make it [Am] stop
Cry out my heart [E] I want it more than I ever knew
[D] Cry out [Am] my heart
Look [F] like it's too late Look like it's gonna end
[E] I'm pretending [A] my heart [E] won't use
[Dm]
[A] You were loving and delicate And I had a weakness for [Am] etiquette
You laid a trail that led straight to [D] you
[F] And I couldn't resist It was hard [E] to handle
Cry out [Am] my heart Cry out my [A] heart
Make it stop Make it [Am] stop
Cry out my heart I want it more than I ever [D] knew
[F] Look like it's too late Look like it's gonna end
I'm [E] pretending my heart won't use
[D#] [Am] Cry out my heart
[A] Look [E] like it's too late Look [A] like it's gonna [Am] end
