C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  G+G  FF

Verse 1:
           G+G
It don't come cheap
             FF
When they look like that
               G+G
And they're so hard to keep
            C majorC
And they move so fast
         FF
Soon you'll find
            A minorAm
It's all for the best
        Bb majorBb  FF
Put the past behind
        G+G
And the hurt to rest

Chorus:
     C majorC
But first you cry
  G+G
Then you sigh
     A minorAm
Somebody lied
           FF
And you can't run and hide
      C majorC
Don't be so sad
    G+G
It ain't so bad
      A minorAm FF
You'll get by
       C majorC    G+G FF
Oh, but first you cry

Candy Mountains
         FF
Streets of Gold
         G+G
Oh, the promises
             C majorC
How they just turn cold
             FF
Till the sun will shine
              A minorAm
There will be warmer days
         Bb majorBb  FF
You'll be feeling fine
         G+G
If you just walk away

Chorus:
     C majorC
But first you cry
  G+G
Then you sigh
     A minorAm
Somebody lied
           FF
And you can't run and hide

Don't be so sad

You'll get by

Oh, but first you cry

Bridge:

Don't look back
             FF
There's nothing to gain

'Cause there ain't no happiness
  G+G
Without a little rain


Chorus:

Don't be so sad
    G+G
It ain't so bad
      A minorAm FF
You'll get by
