Oh, why look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now


D      Bm            F#m
Don't, be ashamed to cry
                G
Let me see you through
                    Bm        A
Cause I've seen the dark side too


F#m                  Bm
When the night falls on you
F#m                    Bm
You don't know what to do
               G
Nothing you confess
                 A
Can make me love you less

I get angry too
            Am      G
Well I'm a lot like you


            Em               Am
When you're standing at the crossroads
          Em                 Am
And don't know which path to choose
              F
Let me come along
