Permissible To Cry

G Bm C G Em C G Bm C G

[Verse 1]
G       Bm     C     G
Runnin' out of steam now
  Em                      C
I don't have the energy I once could
 have bragged of
G       Bm     C     G
Runnin' out of friendships
   Em                          
It seems that the years bring a 
 C
house so divided
G       Bm     C  G
Runnin' out of contacts
   Em                           
Is this what they mean when they 
 C
talk about lonely
G       Bm     C   G
Runnin' out of answers
     Em                    C
I've made my own bed but I don't 
understand it

[Chorus]
Em7                C
All I know is that things are movin'
 mighty fast
Em7                         C
Don't mind the change but I can't go
 it alone
Em7                      C       
All I wanna know is that some 
          D           G
days it's permissible to cry

[Verse 2]
G      Bm      C     G
Wanted to be a tough guy
Em                                 
Never talked much 'bout what I was 
C
feelin' inside me
G       Bm     C     G
I never let my guard down
Em                            C
Couldn't tell a friend from a casual
 acquaintance
Continues after the ad
G             Bm       C     G
I played them all like chess men
    Em                       C
The better the game the more moves I
 was using
G          Bm     C  G
I talked a lot of nonsense
    Em                         
You get the most noise from the 
 C
emptiest barrels

[Chorus]
Em7                C
All I know is that things are movin'
 mighty fast
Em7                         C
Don't mind the change but I can't go
 it alone
Em7                      C       
All I wanna know is that some 
          D           G
days it's permissible to cry

[Bridge]
G                              
Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all 
Em7
wrong
Em7                          G
The simple things are takin' too 
long
G                              
Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm all 
Em7
wrong
Em7                    G
About to waste another day
G                               
Sometimes I'm thinkin' like I'm all 
Em7
wrong
Em7                       G
And I've been comin' over too strong
G                         C
And the things that I was sayin'
C                G  Bm C G Em 
Didn't matter anyway
C G Bm C G
