I'll just be here If you want me.


♫ Verse :
Ab                       Fm
It's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip,

You can weep, you can sleep, you can loosen your grip.

And go down with the ship.

   You can cry if you want to.

Ab                   Fm
Don't ever apologise venting your pain,

It's something to me you don't need to explain.
        Fm
I don't need to know why,
        Db
I don't think it's insane.

The windows are closed,

If it's better with me than to do it alone,

I'll draw all the curtains,
    Db
And unplug the phone

  You can cry if you want to.

Swallow your feelings, and stagger and swear.

You can show things and throw things

And I wouldn't care.

Well it's empty and ugly

And it makes you so mad.

   You can cry.

I'll just be here if you want me to be near you.
