E Emaj7 x2
A Amaj7 x2
verse 1
E C#m Emaj7
You write a list of things to do
E C#m Emaj7
To occupy the time that you could use
E C#m Emaj7
But, in my mind it's never final
E C#m Emaj7
And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave
Pre-Chorus
Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you
Em7
But you didn't come back home
Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you
Em7
Couldn't you come back home?
Dmaj7 Em7
Dmaj7 G6
[Refrão]Chorus
F Am
Someone gets run down
F Am
Karaoke plays somewhere in the background,

But there is no explanation
Am
What makes a grown man cry?
F
Karaoke plays and someone gets run down

verse 2
E C#m Emaj7
We never did want the dawn to break
E C#m Emaj7
Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay
E C#m Emaj7
You know I've changed my ways forever
E C#m Emaj7
The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I
leave
Pre-Chorus
Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you
Em7
But you didn't come back home
Dmaj7
Oh, I waited up for you
Em7
Couldn't you come back home?

BRIDGE
E Emaj7 x2
A Amaj7 x2
Emaj7
I came home--there were radio waves
I heard voices through the radio waves
Amaj7
I came home--you were nowhere to be found
The lights were on and the radio played
Emaj7
I came home--there were radio waves
A children's choir through the radio waves
Amaj7
Every night we've got so much to say
I want to hear all the things you did today
Dmaj7 Em7
Dmaj7 G6
[Refrão]

But there is no explanation

What makes a grown man cry?
