Jimi Jamison - Cry Tough
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] C G Am F G Am F G
[VERSE 1:]
I know the way you're feeling, I know you're hurt inside
Am F G
But there's no easy way, you can't deny the truth
You say it ain't worth trying, that's not the way I see it
Am F G Dm
I think you're hiding, 'cause you're so afraid you might lose
[PRE-CHORUS:]
F G Dm
Stand up and fight it, 'cause you've been there before
C G F
You've reached the point where you can't turn back no more
So if you're gonna cry at all
[CHORUS:]
C
Cry tough
Am
And never let 'em get to you
Em
Cry tough
F
Just keep your spirits high
C
It's gonna get rough
Am
So if you're gonna make it through
Em
You cry tough
F
And let your colours fly
[INTERLUDE:] Am F G Am F G
[VERSE 2:]
This ain't no game were playing, this ain't no give and take
Am F G
Well, don't you know, there's always someone keeping score
Life has its share of heartaches, love can be twice as bad
Am F G Dm
Things aren't so simple anymore_______
[PRE-CHORUS:]
F G Dm
I'm on your side, don't you know that I am
C G F
There comes a time you've got to stop and make a stand
So if you're gonna cry at all

Every night you're on your own

In every way your life is still your own___
