Chords

[Intro] G Cm G Cm [Verse 1]
G                        Cm     Dsus      D              C
Cry, cry out your eyes forever, 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 everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you 

                         Dm                 Fm                          Em7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday you're gonna wake up

        Dm7                G                        C                C7
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
[Verse 2] And so, nobody lives forever, the crassest of clichés Like time, time is the greatest healer, but it's a murderer today (Repeat Chorus) [Bridge] 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 stain........
[Verse 3] 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 you're gonna wake up

        Dm7                G                       C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

C7                            Em7
Someday you're gonna wake up

        F                      G                      C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
