----Intro.----
Asus2 G6 Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
----Verse 1-----
Asus2 E
When we were young and truth was paramount
C G D
We were older then and we lived a life without any doubt
Asus2 E
Those memories they seem so long ago
C G D
What's become of them? When you feel like me I want you to know
----Chorus 1----
Asus2 G6
Don't cry...you're not alone
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
Don't cry...tonight, my baby
Asus2 G6
Don't cry...you'll always be loved
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
Don't cry...tonight, sweet baby
(Play the same for the rest)
----Verse 2----
Today I dream of friends I had before
And I wonder why the ones who care don't, they don't call anymore
My feelings hurt but you know I overcome the pain
And I'm stronger now, there can't be a fire unless there's a flame
----Chorus 2----
Don't cry...you're not alone
Don't cry...tonight, sweet baby
Don't cry...you'll always be loved
Don't cry...oh,oh,oh
----Bridge----
Fmaj7 G6
Limousines and sycophants
Fmaj7 G6
Don't leave me now 'cause I'm afraid
Fmaj7 G6 G
What you've done to me is now the wolf in my head
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
In my head, in my head, in my bed
----Verse 3----
The challenges we took were hard enough
And they get harder now even when we think that we've had enough
Don't you feel alone 'cause it's all you understand
I'm your sedative, take a piece of me when, whenever you want
----Chorus 2----
Don't cry...you're not alone
Don't cry...tonight, sweet baby
Don't cry...you'll always be loved
Don't cry...don't cry tonight, sweet baby
----Outro----
