Cry If You Want To Tab par Holly Cole

(G)
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to, i won't try to cheer you up. 


(C)                      (G) -    D, Em, C, G
I'll just be here if you want me. 


(VERSE 1)

(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)          (G)
You can frown, you can drown, and go down with the ship. 

(C)                  (G)
  You can cry if you want to. 


(VERSE 2)

(G)
Don't ever apologize venting your pain, 

(G)
it's something to me you don't need to explain. 

        (Em)                       (C)        (G)
I don't need to know why, i don't think it's insane. 

(C)                  (G)
  You can cry if you want to. 


[BRIDGE]

    (Em)                      (C)
The windows are closed, the neighbors aren't home.

         (G)                   (D)
If it's better with me, than to do it alone,

     (Em)                       (G)
I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone.  


(C)                   (G)
   You can cry if you want to. 


(VERSE 3)

(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 4)

(G)
I won't make fun of you, I won't tell anyone.

(G)
I won't analyze what you do, or you should've done. 

(Em)                 (C)          (G)
I won't advise you to go and have fun. 

(C)                   (G)
   You can cry if you want to.


(VERSE 5)

(G)
Well it's empty and ugly, and terribly sad.

        (Em)          (C)         (G)          (D)
I can't feel what you feel, but I know it feels bad. 

  (Em)                        (C)
I know that it's real, and it makes you so made. 

        (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)    (C)  (G)
I'll just be here if you want me to be near you.
