Title: Cry me a river
Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
C#m B
Every step I take I slip
A E
Feel it breaking wait a little bit
C#m B
Every time I’m feeling great
A E
Without a doubt I reckon all the pain
C#m B
I’ve always been the type to run away
A E
I had to learn to drive the other way
C#m B
I run away from straying off the lane
A E
I shed a tear I’m feeling all the pain
C#m B
I run away from hiding in the shade, yeah
A E
I’ve been avoiding what’s already made
C#m B
I got it good I’m really cozy yo
A E
I’m feeling cushy like a oreo
[Chorus]
C#m B
Gotta make your mind
E A
We’re all hypocrites at times
C#m B
You’ve been holding to your pride
E
Every little bit a lie
A
I hate it when you’re nice
C#m B
I'd punch you all the time
E
When you speak I scream
A
‘’shut the fuck up’’ in my mind
C#m B
I break bones and I smile
E
You feel cold and you cry
A
Such a little whiner
C#m B
I’m waiting ‘till you die
E
Make me laugh when you cry
A
Oh cry me a river
|C#m |B |
E A
Oh cry me a river
[Verse 2]
C#m
‘Bout to lose patience
B
Kind of like a patient
A E
And you’re investigating in your tiny little world
C#m B
'Know you think I care, kind of sorry though
A E
I’m well aware while you living in a hole
C#m B
You close your eyes, and expect me to show
A E
When you blab nonsense I’m only blabbing back
C#m
My truth is to keep you in line
B
I’m honest that I lie
A E
I’m trying to keep everything from blowing up
C#m B
While you throw gas in the fire, you light it I admire
A E
While you stand in the middle screaming t'ill I pull the wire
C#m B
Got enough, problems of my own
A E
Hope you drown in your vomit lone at home
[Chorus]
C#m B
Gotta make your mind
E A
We’re all hypocrites at times
C#m B
You’ve been holding to your pride
E
Every little bit a lie
A
I hate it when you’re nice
C#m B
I'd punch you all the time
E
When you speak I scream
A
‘’shut the fuck up’’ in my mind
C#m B
I break bones and I smile

You feel cold and you cry
A
Such a little whiner
C#m B
I’m waiting ‘till you die

Make me laugh when you cry
A
Oh cry me a river
|C#m |B |
E A
Oh cry me a river
[Verse 3]
C#m B
Kind of lost sometimes but it’s funny yo
A E
Still I’m feeling like I know better than the most
C#m B
And it ain’t about the knowl’ just about the way to be
A E
About the way to see every loss a victory
C#m B
I’m a winner in my mii-ii-iind
A
Doesn’t matter what you say
E
You’re living in my brain
C#m B
Where the sun always shine
A E
Where shit is always great
C#m B
Tripping to get a better chance at catching every fall
A E
When it really hurts much better when you’re tall
C#m B
Getting used to feelings that used to feel wrong
A E
Life is never easier we only get strong
C#m B
If we holding to the things of the past
A E
Holding to our pride and our hope to go back
C#m B
We skipping on the time we be blessed with
A E
Skipping on the life we're so scared to live
[Chorus]

Gotta make your mind

You’ve been holding to your pride
E
Every little bit a lie
