C/G F G C/G [Verse]
C/G Sometimes happy ever after ain’t
F always ever after
G You promised me forever then you ran
C/G off with a dancer
C/G Now it’s good to see you back here
F But I’m on to greener pastures
G C/G And if you gotta cry, cry softly [Chorus]
F C/G Cry softly, real quietly
G C/G Your tears are unsightly
F There’s the front door, thanks
C/G awfully
G C/G If you gotta cry, cry softly [Verse]
C/G This ain’t the first time that you left me

F Remember Reno, Taos and Tempe
G Remember Carlsbad, El Paso and that
C/G second time in Tempe
C/G Yeah you’ve pulled a lot of fast ones
F But this last one is your last one
G C/G And if you’ve gotta cry, cry softly [Chorus]
F C/G Cry softly, real quietly
G C/G Your tears are unsightly
F There’s the front door, thanks
C/G awfully
G C/G If you gotta cry, cry softly [Break]
F C/G G C/G F C/G G C/G [Verse]
C/G Well heaven needs a hell
F Liberty a bell
G Up 'til now I thought that feeling bad
C/G Meant things were going well
C/G Now things are going great
F But honey babe it's late
G C/G So if you gotta cry, cry softly [Verse]
C/G I admit since you’ve been gone
F I’ve done my share of moving on
G There’s been a lot of warm embracing
C/G Whiskey chasing vodka blondes
C/G Oh honey babe I'm beat
F And I need a little sleep
G C/G And if you gotta cry, cry softly [Chorus]
F C/G Cry softly, real quietly
G C/G Your tears are unsightly
F There’s the front door, thanks
C/G awfully
G And if you gotta cry, cry
G If you gotta cry, cry
G C/G If you gotta cry, cry softly
