G
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to.
G
I won't try to cheer you up,
C                        G       D - Em   C   G
I'll just be here If you want me.

[Verse]
G
It's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip,
G
You can weep, you can sleep, you can loosen your grip.
        Em             C
You can frown, you can drown
       G
And go down with the ship.
C                     G
   You can cry if you want to.

[Verse]
G
Don't ever apologise venting your pain,
G
It's something to me you don't need to explain.
        Em           C
I don't need to know why,
        G
I don't think it's insane.
C                     G
   You can cry if you want to.

[Bridge]
    Em
The windows are closed,
                     C
The neighbors aren't home,
         G                     F#m
If it's better with me than to do it alone,
     Em
I'll draw all the curtains,
    G
And unplug the phone
C                    G
  You can cry if you want to.

[Verse]
G
You can stare at the ceiling, and tear at your hair,
G
Swallow your feelings, and stagger and swear.
        Em              C
You can show things and throw things
    G
And I wouldn't care.
C                      G
    You can cry if you want to.

[Verse]
G
I won't make fun of you. I won't tell anyone.
G
I won't analyze what you do or you should have done.
Em              C
      I won't advise you to
G
Go and have fun.
C                     G
   You can cry if you want to.

[Verse]
G
Well it's empty and ugly
G
And terribly sad.
        Em            C
I can't feel what you feel,
      G                F#m
But I know it feels    bad.
  Em
I know that it's real
       C
And it makes you so mad.
        G
You can cry.

[Chorus]
G
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to.
G
I won't try to cheer you up.
Em           C           G       D  Em C    G
I'll just be here if you want me to be near you.
