Don't Cry chords by Morgan Wade

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)


Play: FF or Cadd11
Key: C majorC

If you can't play an FF chord yet, you can kind of get away with playing a Cadd11 (fingering shown below)
like Morgan does, however the bass player on the recording is playing an FF note. Cadd11 on it's own sounds a
little thin to me playing it solo. Strumming pattern is listed, but I think it is a combination of strums
from 2 separate guitars on the recording. It sounds good. A minorAm to C majorC change on beat 3.

     E-A-D-G-B-e
Cadd11: x-3-3-0-1-0


Verse 1:
A minorAm        C majorC         FF
I'll always be my own worst critic
A minorAm          C majorC       FF
The world exists and I'm just in it
A minorAm           C majorC
Find something good and mess it up
FF
Lie and say it just wasn't enough
A minorAm        C majorC         FF
I'll always be my own worst critic
G+G            Fmaj7Fmaj7
And I hate to suffocate between something I love, something I hate
G+G             FF
If I don't know who I am, how can I ever give a damn?

Chorus:
A minorAm          C majorC
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
FF
At some point, your hero must die
A minorAm      C majorC
To escape the hands of time
FF
It's okay to not be alright, and
A minorAm          C majorC
Let it go, let it go, let it go
FF
Face the truth and bare your soul
A minorAm           C majorC
Lose yourself and break your heart
FF
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart

Verse 2:
A minorAm   C majorC    FF
Always runnin' outta time
A minorAm    C majorC          FF
Another's world wrapped up in mine
A minorAm     C majorC     FF
On a trip, so devout until I get bored and I check out
A minorAm   C majorC          FF
Always runnin' outta time
G+G             Fmaj7Fmaj7
I won't try to justify the things I've done, the lies I've lied
G+G
I can leave the past in the past
FF
I smell it on my breath, I can't go back


Chorus:
A minorAm          C majorC
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
FF
At some point, your hero must die
A minorAm      C majorC
To escape the hands of time
FF
It's okay to not be alright, and
A minorAm          C majorC
Let it go, let it go, let it go
FF
Face the truth and bare your soul
A minorAm           C majorC
Lose yourself and break your heart
FF
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart

Bridge:
E minorEm       Fmaj7Fmaj7
I am not who I seem
E minorEm           Fmaj7Fmaj7
My alter ego takes the lead
E minorEm
Sit back and let her drive
Fmaj7Fmaj7
The only one makes it out alive
E minorEm
I gotta take control
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Lose myself to gain my soul


Chorus:
A minorAm          C majorC
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
FF
At some point, your hero must die
A minorAm      C majorC
To escape the hands of time
FF
It's okay to not be alright, and
A minorAm          C majorC
Let it go, let it go, let it go
FF
Face the truth and bare your soul
A minorAm           C majorC
Lose yourself and break your heart
FF
It's a beautiful thing to fall apart
A minorAm          C majorC     FF
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, yeah
A minorAm          C majorC     FF
Let it go, let it go, let it go, ooh
A minorAm          C majorC     FF
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, yeah
A minorAm          C majorC     FF
Let it go, let it go, let it go
