Intro G Cm G Cm Verse one

G                          Cm          Dsus      D              C
Cry,   cry out your eyes for ever,     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 every one else will do, I'm gonna lie to you 

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

        Dm7                G                        C                C7
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.

Verse two And so, nobody lives forever, the crassest of clique Like time, time is the greatest healer, but its a murderer a day Repeat Chorus Mid 8 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 stamp........

Verse three 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 your gonna wake up,

        Dm7                G                       C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes,

C7                            Em7   
Someday your gonna wake up,

        F                      G                      C              
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
