Cry Pretty chords by Carrie Underwood

Guitar chords with lyrics

INTRO: F#

VERSE 1:
F#
I'm sorry, but I'm just a girl
     Bbm
Not usually the kind to show my heart to the world
      B
I'm pretty good at keeping it together
   C#
I hold my composure, for worse or for better
      F#
So I apologize if you don't like what you see
     Bbm
But sometimes my emotions get the best of me
       B
And falling apart is as human as it gets
           C#
You can't hide it, you can't fight what the truth is
CHORUS:
          F#
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
          Bbm
You can pretty smile and just walk away
        B
Pretty much fake your way through anything
         C#          F#
But you can't cry pretty

VERSE 2:
                    F#
Oh no, you can’t dress it up in lace or rhinestones
         Bbm
Don't matter if you're in a crowd or home all alone
           B
Yeah, it's all the same
B
When you're looking in the mirror
    C#
A picture of pain, so let it flow like a river

CHORUS:
          F#
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
          Bbm
You can pretty smile and just walk away
        B
Pretty much fake your way through anything
         C#          F#
But you can't cry pretty

CHORUS:
           F#
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
       Bbm
When all your mascara is going to waste
       B
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
          D     C#        F#
That you can't cry prett


BRIDGE:
  F#           Bbm
Oh no, you can't
 B      D C#
Ooh, yeah

CHORUS:
           F#
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
       Bbm
When all your mascara is going to waste
       B
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
          D     C#        F#
That you can't cry pretty


OUTRO:
       F#              Bbm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bbm
No, you can't cry
B
No, you can't cry
 D           C#      F#   Bbm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bbm                      B
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, woo
D
You can't cry
C#                F#
You can't cry pretty, baby
F#       Bbm     B
Oh yeah, woo, woo
B        D      C#   F#
No, you can't cry pretty, yeah
