Cruel Cruel

C
 I wanna run away
Am                               
  To somewhere far and somewhere 
G
safe
                  F
So scared of this place
C
Cause you don't even know me
                   Am            
And you don't even care that I've 
      G
been lonely
                             F
And tired of fighting in the den of 
the lions where I won't even try
C
And in the dead of the night I wait
Am
Early morning and I still haven't 
got some sleep
G
Call me crazy
Call me baby
                F
You can call me weak
You don't even know, no you don't 
      C
even know

That the weight of the world on me
Am
I've been there and back again
                G
And it seems to me
That a promise isn't something you 
keep
      F
And a secret never lasts
It only sees what you see

             C
Cause it's a cruel cruel ride

           Am
And if you want to come inside
           F
You better sit up and shut your eyes
         G
And hold on for dear life
             C                   
Cause if you don't then you will 
Am               G
surely lose your mind
        C          G        F
But I won't

C
I wanna hide my face
Am                               
I wanna find the strength to get 
G
through this
                F
Oh I know I can do it

C
It's the taste in my mouth
                 Am
It's the nauseousness
It's my stomach in knots forming 
            G
cascades of gunshots
                     F
Leaving me holding a pen and this 
page and these words filled with 
rage

C
And in the dead of the night I wait
Am
Early morning and I still haven't 
got some sleep
G
Call me crazy
Call me baby
                F
You can call me weak
You don't even know


             C
Cause it's a cruel cruel ride
           Am
And if you want to come inside
           F
You better sit up and shut your eyes
         G
And hold on for dear life
             C                   
Cause if you don't then you will 
Am               G
surely lose your mind
        C          G        F
But I won't

"Hello, can anyone hear me?"
"Oh, does anyone know me?"
"No, can anyone hear me?"
"No, can anyone love me?"
"No, can anyone, can anyone hear 
me?"

Cause it's a cruel cruel ride
And if you want to come inside
You better sit up and shut your eyes
And hold on for dear life
Cause if you don't then you will 
surely lose your mind
But I won't
But I won't
I won't
I won't
