A minorAm                 E minorEm
It's a pity it's a crying shame
A minorAm             E minorEm
Who pulled you down again
A minorAm          E minorEm
How painful it must be
A minorAm           E minorEm     D MajorD
To bruise so easily inside

A minorAm                 E minorEm
Itâ^À^Ùs a pity itâ^À^Ùs a downright crime

A minorAm         E minorEm
It happens all the time
A minorAm                      E minorEm
You want to stay little daddyâ^À^Ùs girl

A minorAm                        E minorEm            D MajorD       G7G7
You want to hide from the vicious world outside

C majorC         G+G
Donâ^À^Ùt cry

            A minorAm               E minorEm
You know the tears will do no good
           FF    G+G
So dry your eyes

A minorAm             E minorEm
Oh, your daddy heâ^À^Ùs the iron man

A minorAm                   E minorEm
A augmentedA battleship wrecked on dry land
A minorAm                 E minorEm
Your mamma sheâ^À^Ùs a bitter bride

A minorAm              E minorEm            D MajorD
Sheâ^À^Ùll never be satisfied you know

          G+G        G7G7
And thatâ^À^Ùs not right

   C majorC         G+G

But donâ^À^Ùt cry

A minorAm               E minorEm
You know the tears will do no good
           FF    G+G
So dry your eyes

   C majorC             G+G
Oh, they told you life is hard
A minorAm     E minorEm
Misery from the start
    FF         C majorC         D MajorD      G7G7
Itâ^À^Ùs dull itâ^À^Ùs slow itâ^À^Ùs painful

    C majorC          G+G
But, I tell you life is sweet
A minorAm              E minorEm
In spite of the misery
       FF       C majorC       D MajorD
Thereâ^À^Ùs so much more be grateful

     FF   C majorC        D MajorD
Well, who do you believe?

Who will you listen to who will it be?
            FF    C majorC               D MajorD
Because it's high time that you decide
       G+G
In your own mind

A minorAm            E minorEm
I've tried to comfort you
A minorAm            E minorEm             D MajorD
I've tried to tell you to be patient
    D7D7
That they are blind and they canâ^À^Ùt see


A minorAm            E minorEm
Fortune gonna come one day
A minorAm                E minorEm
They're all gonna fade away
A minorAm             E minorEm
Your daddy the war machine
A minorAm                 E minorEm       D MajorD
And your momma the long and suffering
G+G                            C majorC
Prisoner of what she can not see
