C   G   Am   G   F

[Verse 1]
                     G
It don't come cheap 
                          F
When they look like that 
                             G
And they're so hard to keep 
                       C
And they move so fast 
                  F
Soon you'll find 
                       Am
It's all for the best 
               Bb    F
Put the past behind 
                G
And the hurt to rest 


[Chorus]
         C
But first you cry 
    G
Then you sigh 
         Am
Somebody lied 
                     F 
And you can't run and hide 
           C
Don't be so sad 
        G
It ain't so bad 
           Am  F
You'll get by 
              C       G  F
Oh, but first you cry


[Verse 2]
                 G
Candy Mountains 
                 F
Streets of Gold 
                  G
Oh, the promises 
                         C
How they just turn cold 
                         F
Till the sun will shine 
                           Am
There will be warmer days 
                  Bb    F
You'll be feeling fine 
                  G
If you just walk away 


[Chorus]
         C
But first you cry 
    G
Then you sigh 
         Am
Somebody lied 
                     F 
And you can't run and hide 
           C
Don't be so sad 
        G
It ain't so bad 
           Am  F
You'll get by 
              C       G
Oh, but first you cry


[Instrumental]
C   G   Am  Bb  C   F


[Bridge]
                 Am
Don't look back 
                         F 
There's nothing to gain 

'Cause there ain't no happiness 
    G
Without a little rain 


[Chorus]
         C
But first you cry 
    G
Then you sigh 
         Am
Somebody lied 
                     F 
And you can't run and hide 
           C
Don't be so sad 
        G
It ain't so bad 
           Am  F
You'll get by 
              C       G
Oh, but first you cry


[Chorus]
     C
First you cry 
    G
Then you sigh 
         Am
Somebody lied 
                     F 
And you can't run and hide 
           C
Don't be so sad 
        G
It ain't so bad 
           Am  F
You'll get by 
              C       G    Am  Bb  C
Oh, but first you cry
