 Verse 1:

          C        D7/C
         Can I cry      a little bit
         Fm6/C             C
         There's nobody to   notice it
         Gm7               D      G           C    Bm7  E7
         Can't I cry if I want to    no one cares

         Am7                 Em7
             Why can't I pretend
         Am7                    Em7
             That you love me again
         Am7      Bm7          C            D
         All I've had has been   taken from me
         Am7      Bm7         C                D
         Now I'm cryin' and tears don't become me

         Just one kiss, [2: girl, now] the hurt's all gone
          E        A/E            Cdim/E                E
         Just one smile to make my       life worth living

 Verse 2:

         How I wish I could say
         All the things that I want to say
         If some way you could see what's in my heart
         I don't ask for much
         A look, a smile, a touch
         Try to forget, well the Lord knows I'm tryin'
         But it's so hard to forget, girl, when your whole world is dyin'
