Crocodile Tears

    E                             A
I saw you last night with that fella
    E                    C#m
the up-to-date version of me
         E                A
He was smug as a lottery winner
          E          B          E
You were warm as a reptile can be
         E                         
What a change from the last time I 
A
saw you
            E                      
With those tears running down if 
   C#m
you please
      E                A
From sad to happy so quickly
            E           B   
That's one hundred and eighty 
      E
degrees

[Chorus]
      A                    E
But crocodiles do it much better
         A                  
they're much more humane and 
     B
forgiving
       E           F#m
Their victims are dead
      E/G#        A
in a minute it's said
       E             B        E
While yours have to carry on living
            A                   
And those crocodile tears you've 
        E
been shedding
      A                         
Some day they might come back to 
  B
haunt you
       E          F#m
Oh, I bet you one day
           E/G#     A
you'll be sobbing away
            E
'cause you have to
     B              E
and not 'cause you want to

E   F#m   E/G#    A  E B E

[Verse 2]
         E                         
And the night that you said it was 
 A
over
         E                  C#m
I got a history lesson for free
     E                        A
I thought it was you did the lying 
and cheating
     E            B            E
It turns out it must have been me
Continúa después del anuncio
      E                            
When the tears started flowing that
   A
 clinched it
    E                    C#m
I knew you'd be running away
        E
to the arms of your new love -
       A
poor devil, he gets  you
      E          B       E
for twenty four hours a day

[Chorus]
      A                    E
But crocodiles do it much better
         A                  
they're much more humane and 
     B
forgiving
       E           F#m
Their victims are dead
      E/G#        A
in a minute it's said
       E             B        E
While yours have to carry on living
            A                   
And those crocodile tears you've 
        E
been shedding
      A                         
Some day they might come back to 
  B
haunt you
       E          F#m
Oh, I bet you one day
           E/G#      A
you'll be sobbing away
            E
'cause you have to
     B              E
and not 'cause you want to

E  F#m  E/G#   A  E B E

[Verse 3]
        E                      
Well I hope he lives up to your 
   A
standards
  E                     C#m
Standards I could never keep
      E                     
I was always to quick on the 
   A
trigger, you said
        E           B           E
not to mention to dumb and to cheap
        E                    A
And I see all your petty revenges
      E                    C#m
The drama goes on, does it ever
          E                     A
But that picture of us, in the nude,
 on the bus
    E         B             E
To put it on Facebook was clever

[Chorus]
      A                    E
But crocodiles do it much better
         A                  
they're much more humane and 
     B
forgiving
       E           F#m
Their victims are dead
      E/G#        A
in a minute it's said
       E             B        E
While yours have to carry on living
           A                    
And those crocodile tears you've 
       E
been shedding
      A                         
Some day they might come back to 
  B
haunt you
       E           F#m
Oh, I bet you one day
           E/G#      A
you'll be sobbing away
            E
'cause you have to
     B              E
and not 'cause you want to
       E           F#m
Oh, I bet you one day
           E/G#      A
you'll be sobbing away
            E
'cause you have to
     B             C#m      E
and not 'cause you want to

Final four lines from an older 
version (as seen on several YouTube 
videos):

     E                       A
But watching you acting the victim
         E                   C#m
Is like watching the news on tv
     E
You can't stand to see
          A
all the blood and the gore
          E              B        
yet you can't take your eyes off 
      E
the screen
