[A]
Life comes down [D] so heavy, [Bm] sometimes I [E] can't bear it on [A] my shoulder.
I [Bm] can't cry at all, my [D] tears won't fall [A] as I get older.
Yes, [D] I'm going through the change, I [E]
feel so cold and strange.
[D] Wish I could fall [E] apart and get it [A]
over.
Why, why [D] can't I cry like [A]
you do?
When [E] I need to.
[A]
Why, [B] [A] why [D]
can't I cry when [A] I need to?
And God knows [E] I need to, [G] oh [A] so bad.

[A]
A woman can cry [D] so easy, you [Bm] never have to hold [E] the hurt down [A] deep inside you.
[Bm] But I can't let go, [D] I can't let it show like
[A] you do.
[D] Yes, I'm going through the change, I [E] feel so cold and strange.
[D] Wish I could [E] just break down and cry [A] like you do.
Why, [D] [A] why [D] can't I cry like
[A] you do?
When [E] I need to.
