E                     C#m
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to
  A                           B                        E
I won't try to cheer you up, I'll just be here if you want me
        E                   C#m
There's no use in keeping a stiff upper lip
         A                          B
You can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip
         E                          C#m
You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship
A        B          E
You can cry if you want you

[Verse]
       E              C#m
Don't ever apologize venting your pain
      A                         B
It's something to me you don't need to explain
         E                        C#m
I don't need to know why I don't think it's insane
A        B          E
You can cry if you want to

[Verse]
     C#m                     A
The windows are closed the neighbors aren't home
         E                     B
If it's better with me then to do it alone
      C#m                      B
I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone
A        B          E
You can cry if you want to

[Instrumental]
E  C#m  A  B  E  C#m  A  B  E

[Verse]
         E                    C#m
You can stare at the ceiling tear at your hair
A                          B
Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear
         E                              C#m
You can show things and throw things and I wouldn't care
A        B          E
You can cry if you want to

[Verse]
   E                      C#m
No I won't make fun of you I won't tell anyone
A                        B
I won't analyze what you do or you should have done
E                     C#m
I won't advise you to go and have fun
A        B          E
You can cry if you want to

[Bridge]
           E                          Esus
When it's empty and ugly and terribly sad
         A                        B
I can't feel what you feel but I know it feels bad
  E                          C#m              A  B
I know that it's real and it makes you so mad
         E
You can cry

[Chorus]
E                     C#m
Cry if you want to, I won't tell you not to
  A                           B                        C#m
I won't try to cheer you up, I'll just be here if you want me 
B      A
To be near you
