Grown Man Cry chords by Amanda Palmer

We are standing
          Em
On the threshold
             G
Of a decent conversation
                    Bm
When i can hear the door
Slam
                 A
I know the face you’re
Making
                      Em
And i really want to talk
To you
                   G
I really really wanted to
But once you get your
      Bm
Mind made up
There is no getting
A

Through to you
                      Em
For a while it was touching
                      G
For a while it was challenging
                  Bm
Before it became typical
And now it really
        A
Isn’t interesting
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
                  Em
I’m lying on the sofa
                  G
And the radio is blaring
And i’m scanning
                Bm
Through the stations
As the boys declare
          Am
Their feelings
But it doesn’t
            Em
Feel like feelings
It feels like
             G
They’re pretending
It’s like they
              Bm
Just want blowjobs
And they know these
            A
Songs will get them
                       Em
And i really want to talk
To you
                  G
I really really wanted to
                       Bm
But i have learned my lesson now
And you’re not the one
     A
I’m turning to
And for a while it was
Em
Touching
                     G
For a while it was challenging
                 Bm
Before it got habitual
And now it really
            A
Isn’t interesting
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
Em         G                   Bm A
I was the first to warn you
Em         G                   Bm A
I lay myself before you
Em         G                   Bm A
I was the first to warn you
Em     G                 Bm A
I put myself before you
 Em
We are standing on the
Corner
And you’re throwing
            G
Down the gauntlet
                   F#m
It is not a life decision
We just need
             A
To pick a restaurant
                        Em
After all this i should know
You
Well enough not to get
G
Into it
I should learn but I’m an
F#m
Idiot
     A
You only want an argument
Em
And for a while it was
Touching
                     G
It was almost even comforting
                 Bm
Before it became typical
And now it really
             A
Is not interesting
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man cry
          Em         G Bm A
To see a grown man
Throw a temper fit
To see a grown man
 G
Cross his arms
And sit as if the
            Bm
Whole wide world would end
                A
If he was not a part of it
But at the same time
          Em
With no confidence
Never realizing
     G
The consequence he’s having
            Bm
On the ones he loves
Because he thinks
               A
He makes no difference
We are standing
          Em
On the threshold
             G
Of a decent conversation
                    Bm
When i can hear the door
Slam
                 A
I know the face you’re
Making
                      Em
And i really want to talk
To you
                   G
I really really wanted to
But once you get your
      Bm
Mind made up
There is no getting
A
Through to you
