Sting - Why Should I Cry For You (CD Live in Berlin) Chords

_ _ I think I mentioned before I come from a little town called Newcastle on the northeast coast
of England, near Scotland.
It's a little bit like Bremen.
_ It's very cold in the winter.
My father was a milkman.
He delivered the milk every morning, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, all weathers.
And from the age of seven, I'd go out and help him.
I kind of resent [A] the fact that all my friends at school were still in bed when I was in
the streets in the cold.
But part of me loved it.
I liked the silence.
It allowed me the space to dream, to fantasize about my future.
I think I fantasized about being a musician.
My father didn't say very much to me at all.
In fact, he only ever gave me one piece of advice.
He took me down to the docks one day and we looked at the ships and he said, son, when
you leave school, I want you to go to sea.
And I think what he meant was that he wanted me to have an exciting life.
Of course, [N] I disappointed him. _ _
_ But I did manage to get a Seaman's card at one point in my life.
I was a musician on a cruise ship.
_ That's another story entirely.
Anyway, my dad died about 25 years ago and I wrote this song for him as if I'd followed
his wish, as if I'd gone to sea.
It's called, Why Should I Cry Do You Think?

Sometimes [D] I see your face, [A] _ [F#m] _ _
I seem to [D] lose their _ [A] [F#m] place,
