Dm                              E    
  There are people who think I lead
Dm/B                  E
  The kind of charmed life 
Dm                 E     Dm/B               E
 With everything I need    but no pain or strife
F#m6  G#m        Dbm   F#m6    G#m      Dbm       
   If only they knew       the absolute truth

G/C              F    G/C                      F
  The secrecy in lies   The bitter tears I?ve cried 
G                       F   G                   F
  The days when I can?t hide from hopelessness inside
  
The mad humiliation of knowing what you?ve done
In a sad infatuation that went on far too long

Bm                         E
After all that we?ve been through 
Dm7            E7
Only tears can tell the truth

                        Dmaj7   E
I?m not crying just for you 
               A   F#m
I?m crying for me 
                         Bm7 E                D         A
And with these tears you see, I?m crying for all of us

For the lack of communication Secret shared no longer
For my weak intimidation when I should have been much stronger 
For the jealousy and shame That you were someone?s plaything 
For the love that survived the pain in spite of everything

After all that we?ve been through only tears can tell the truth

I?m not crying just for you, I?m crying for me 
And with these tears you see, I?m crying for all of us

Dm                 E       Dm/B                   E
  For the impossibility Of love in a world where sex 
      Dm                E            Dm       Dm/B  E
Is a cruel competitive sport For the love that sex rejects

For the ripples spreading wider For the friendships destroyed 
By suspicion and fighting, and cover-ups implied 

After all that we?ve been through only tears can tell the truth

I?m not crying just for you, I?m crying for me 
For those who came between
I?m crying for you, for me, for what we might have been
For you and me, baby for all of us

Dm   E         F6          A
           For all of us
