[Intro]~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
