[Chorus]
G
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to.
G
I won't try to cheer you up,
C G D - Em C G
I'll just be here If you want me.
[Verse]
G
It's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip,
G
You can weep, you can sleep, you can loosen your grip.
Em C
You can frown, you can drown
G
And go down with the ship.
C G
You can cry if you want to.
[Verse]
G
Don't ever apologise venting your pain,
G
It's something to me you don't need to explain.
Em C
I don't need to know why,
G
I don't think it's insane.
C G
You can cry if you want to.
[Bridge]
Em
The windows are closed,
C
The neighbors aren't home,
G F#m
If it's better with me than to do it alone,
Em
I'll draw all the curtains,
G
And unplug the phone
C G
You can cry if you want to.
[Verse]
G
You can stare at the ceiling, and tear at your hair,
G
Swallow your feelings, and stagger and swear.
Em C
You can show things and throw things
G
And I wouldn't care.
C G
You can cry if you want to.
[Verse]
G
I won't make fun of you. I won't tell anyone.
G
I won't analyze what you do or you should have done.
Em C
I won't advise you to
G
Go and have fun.
C G
You can cry if you want to.
[Verse]
G
Well it's empty and ugly
G
And terribly sad.
Em C
I can't feel what you feel,
G F#m
But I know it feels bad.
Em
I know that it's real
C
And it makes you so mad.
G
You can cry.
[Chorus]
G
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to.
G
I won't try to cheer you up.
Em C G D Em C G
I'll just be here if you want me to be near you.
