Verse 1:
D G
When the whole world says they want you
D G
But nobody says they need you
D G
Don't it make you cry?
D G
Don't it make you cry?
D G
Cosmonauts, they lick their wounds, and
D G
Simple folk that slip too soon, and
D G
All of those goodbyes
D G
Don't they make you cry?

Verse 2:
D G
Opportunities a-plenty
D G
Pull the other one, cos it's got bells on it

And your best friend's troubles sleeping
D G
But your memory's trouble keeping
D G
Track of all those times
D G
Don't they make you cry?
