But I can't, so I'll cry instead.
I got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
If I coulde see you now, I'll try to make you say it somehow
But I can't, so I'll cry instead.

Don't wanna cry when there's people there
A7
I get shy when they start to stare,
D7 E7 A7 D7
I'm gonna hide myself away, but I'll come back again some day
And when I do you better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two,
and show you what your lovin' man can do
Until then I'll cry instead.
