Adam Melchor - Cry

Capo: 1 fret

[Intro]
A Amaj7 Dmaj7
A Amaj7 Dmaj7

[Verse 1]
A Amaj7 Dmaj7 A
I’m not always strong but I got good posture,
Amaj7 Dmaj7 A
I stand up tall and push my shoulders back,
Amaj7 A Dmaj7 A
May—be we’re all just good impostors,
Dmaj7 A
And when we’re alone that’s when we relax,
Dmaj7 A
I know I can be kinda rough on the outside,
Dmaj7 A
Act like I don’t give a fuck when I do,
Dmaj7 F#m
But truth is I’m not really much of a tough guy,
Dmaj7
You probably already knew.

[Pre-Chorus]
C# D
I think it’s something that’s deep down in me,
F#m
And I just keep it inside.

[Chorus]
E D A F#m
I don’t wanna cry in front of you,
E D A F#m
I don’t know what I am tryna prove,
E D A
The weight of my cards on the table,
F#m E D A
Makes it unstable and rocks like a cradle,
F#m E D A F#m E
And baby, I don’t wanna cry. . .

[Verse 2]
A
Sometimes it feels like a shock from a collar,
A Amaj7
And I’m just a dog roped up to a fence,
Dmaj7 F#m
I’m staying silent when I need to holler,
D Dmaj7 D
Let down my guard and give up my defense.

[Pre-Chorus]
C# D
I think it’s something that’s deep down in me,
F#m
And I just keep it inside.

[Chorus]
E D A F#m
I don’t wanna cry in front of you,
E D A F#m
I don’t know what I am tryna prove,
E D A
The weight of my cards on the table,
F#m E D A
Makes it unstable and rocks like a cradle,
F#m E D A F#m
And baby, I don’t wanna cry. . .
E D A F#m
In front of you . . .,
E D A F#m
I don’t wanna cry,
E D A F#m
In front of you . . ..

[Outro]
E D A F#m
I don’t wanna cry in front of you,
E D A F#m
I don’t know what I am tryna prove,
E D* A*
The weight of my cards on the table,
F#m* E* D* A*
Makes it unstable and rocks like a cradle,
F#m E D A F#m
And baby, I don’t wanna cry. . .
E D A F#m
In front of you . . .,
E D A F#m
I don’t wanna cry,
E D A F#m
In front of you . . ..
E A
I don’t wanna cry,
D Dmaj7
In front of you . . ..
