[Intro]
G C G C
 
         G     C         G     C     G    C  G  C
I've got every reason on earth to be mad,
      G      C        G    C      D
cause I just lost the only girl I had
   C                       C7
If I could get my way, I'd get myself locked up today,
      G              D     G
but I can't, so I'll cry instead.
 
        G          C               G      C       G    C  G  C
I got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet,
G       C       G      C      D
I can't talk to people that I meet
   C                        C7
If I could see you now, I'd try to make 
                       G              D     G
you sad somehow, but I can't, so I'll cry instead.
 
            Bm
Don't wanna cry when there's people there,
      A
I get shy when they start to stare;
    D                           E7              A7        D7
I'm gonna hide myself away, but I'll come back again some day
 
    G             C      G    C       G    C  G  C
And when I do you better hide all the girls,
       G         C           G          C         D
‘cause I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
    C
Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two, 
    C7
and show you what your loving man can do;
      G         D     G     C  G  C
until then I'll cry instead.

    G             C      G    C       G    C  G  C
And when I do you better hide all the girls,
       G         C           G          C         D
‘cause I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
    C
Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two, 
    C7
and show you what your loving man can do;
      G         D     G
until then I'll cry instead.
