Chords
So here goes Cry on Demand by Gomez, of their alubm How We Operate, awesome album:
It's kinda weird trying to show the rythm and patterns with the cords, but should be easy to
figure out listening to the song
The intro/chorus is based on a little pattern with Dsus2 Asus4 and G that goes something like this:
(You can improvise a picking pattern or just strum)

The tears won't come out.

I've been shaking, shaking in my boots
Every time I hear my telephone
ring, it can't possibly be you,
You never call,
Not since my little accident.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb D Gm
I didn't mean to cause any trouble

Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble

It can only float for so long
[Verse]
Follow Fig. 2 (x3)
Now I realise, I realise they were wrong,
Cause what happens in Vegas,
Don't take very long,
To travel accross continents,
And onwards overseas,
Onto our little island,
To our city, our home,
But
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb D Gm
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
Bb D Gm F Eb
I didn't know we were so serious

Sometimen I wish I could cry on demand,
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
The tears won't come out.
