[Fm] [Ab] [Fm] [Bb] [Db] [Bb]
[Ab] [C]
[Fm] Did you ever want to [Bbm] cry?
[Ab] But you didn't know just [C] why?
[F] Did you ever sit [Bb] up all night [Eb] long
Just [Ab] listening to that same [Db] old song?
[Bb] The one they [Cm] played when she said nothing [Fm] could go wrong
Right, I [Bbm] know you did
[Ab]
Oh [C] you kid
[F] Did you really think [Bb] that she'd be [Eb] true?
Wasn't [Ab] that rather naive [Db] of you?
[Bb] And now she's dropped [Eb] you like a worn [Cm] out [G] shoe
[Fm] She's got [Bbm] you drinking gin
[Ab] And you know [C] that he's [F] sleeping
You go honky [Bb] tonking every [Eb] night
You get [Ab] drunk and then you start a [Db] fight
[Bb] I know that you [Eb] think [Fm] that it's alright
Wrong, it's [Bbm] not the way to live
[Ab] You only get [C] what you give
[F] You can live your [Bb] life just as you [Eb] please
But then you lie [Ab] with [Ebm] those you kind [Db] of please
[Bb] And now she's brought [Eb] you [Cm] down to your [Fm] knees
Oh, she wants [Bbm] to hold you tight
[Ab] You listen in the [C] middle of the [F] night
You burn the [Bb] candle, clap for [Eb] offense
Now it's [Ab] too late, [Ebm] too [Db] late to make amends
[Bb] You've even [Eb] lost [C] your old time [Fm] friends
And the bees glad to [Bbm] see you down
[Ab] People, they don't want you [C] hanging around
[Fm] Didn't you ever [Bbm] want to cry?
Oh, just watch, [Fm] right?
I know [Bbm] you did
[Bb] Wrong, [F] it's not the [Bbm] way to live
[F] Did you ever [E] want [Bbm] to cry?
