[B] [A] [E]
[B] [A] [E]
I set [B] myself down Tuesday, [A] wrote [E] myself a song.
Just things I want to say [A] about [E] what is wrong.
But all of my complaining, well it comes to no avail.
Things I really need to [A] say, I've yet to [F#] learn myself.
[A] Ah, but I [E] won't cry, no.
And I won't wail, no.
I tell myself [A] that you [E] never fail until it's over.
[A] And [E] when it's over, [A] it's over.
[E] [A] [E] [B]
[F#] So I wrote myself a letter, and I sent it [E] off to you.
To make myself [B] feel better, [A] I tried to [E] tell the truth.
[A] I wrote a [E] song for Jesus Christ [Am] and one for [E] Noah's Ark.
[A] I sang a [E] song for morning light [A] and I still sat [B] in the dark.
[A] But I [E] won't cry, no.
[A] [E] And I won't wail, no.
I tell myself that [C#] you [E] never fail until it's over.
[A] And [E] when it's over, [A] it's [E] over.
[A] [E] [B]
[E] So I [G#m] accept I can't do nothing, [A] do nothing [E] at all.
I see [F#] myself a big long road [A] and I build [Em] myself a wall.
[A] I dig [E] myself a tunnel [A] so I could get [E] on under.
[A] And join the rest [E] of the human race, [A] just ask why [B] and wonder.
[A] But I [E] won't cry, no.
[A] And I [E] won't wail, no.
I tell myself that you never fail until it's over.
[A] And [E] when it's over, [A] it's [E] over.
And when it's over, it's over.
[A] [E] It's over, [A] it's over.
