Intro
G   Cm  G   Cm

Verse one
G             Cm     Dsus   D       C
Cry,  cry out your eyes for ever,   It won't go away
G         Cm        Dsus    D         C
I,  I'm just a dumb observer,  It's so stupid what I say

Chorus
           G               G7
Like every one else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
             Dm         Fm             Em7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up
    Dm7        G            C        C7
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.

Verse two
And so, nobody lives forever, the crassest of clique
Like time, time is the greatest healer, but its a murderer a day

Repeat Chorus

Mid 8
C7(Still from last chord of the chorus)      Em7     F
     You know me holding you won't change anything,
                   Em7     F
I can't stop this whole charade continuing,
                   G          F
As each consoling kiss remains on your face,
     Dm         G         C         C7
Like a stamp........

Verse three
So cry, cry out those tears and let them,  succumb to gravity
And try, try as I might I'll never,    fill that vacancy

Last Chorus (A little different to the others at the end)
           G               G7
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you,
            Dm         Fm             Em7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up,
    Dm7        G            C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes,
C7              Em7
Someday your gonna wake up,
    F           G           C
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
