I
[G]
got every reason on earth to be [D] mad
Cause [G] I just lost the only girl [D] I had
[C] If I could get my way
I'd get myself [D] locked up today
[G] But I can't, so [D] I cry instead
[G] I got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
[C] I [G] can't talk to people that [D] I meet
If [C] I could see you now
I'd try to [D] make you sad somehow
[G] But I can't, so [D] I cry [G] instead
[Bm] I don't wanna cry when there's people there
[A] I get shy when they start to stare
[D] I'm gonna hide myself away, hey
[E] But I'll be back [A] again someday
[G] Oh, and I do, you better hide all the girls
Cause I'll be breaking hearts all [D] around the world
[C] Yes, I'm gonna break em too
[Dm] Show em what your loving [A] man can do
[G] And oh man, [D] I cry [G] instead
I don't [Bm] wanna cry when there's people there
[A] I get shy when they start to stare
[D] I'm gonna hide myself away, hey
[E] But I'll be back [A] again someday
Oh, and I do, you better hide all the girls
[G]
Cause I'll be breaking hearts all [D] around the world
[C] Yes, I'm gonna break em too
[Bbm] Show em what your loving [A] man can do
But oh [G] man, I [Am] cry instead

But [G] oh man, [D] I cry [C] instead
[G]
[N] Thank you very much, thank you all
