C                                   Dm
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange 
Dm                           C
when I try to explain how I feel 
F                                                C
that I still need your love after all that I've done. 
C            Dm        C                     Dm 
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew 
Dm
although she's dressed up to the nines 
Dm                        G
at sixes and sevens with you. 

C                                 Dm
I had to let it happen, I had to change 
Dm                                 C
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel 
F                                              C
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun 
C            Dm      C                     F  
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new 
Am
But nothing impressed me at all. 
Am                  G
I never expected it to. 

C          Am       F         G
Don't cry for me, Argen(G)tina 
Dm            G        F      C                   
The truth is, I never left you 
C               G7                  C
All through my wild days, my mad existence 
C           F                        C 
I kept my promise. Don't keep your distance. 

And as for fortune, and as for fame 
I never invited them in 
though it seemed to the world they were all I desired. 
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be 
The answer was here all the time: 
I love you, and hope you love me. 
C          Am        Dm       G
Don't cry for me, Argentina . . . . 

hums a chorus 

Don't cry for me, Argentina 
the truth is, I never left you 
All through my wild days, my mad existence 
I kept my promise. Don't keep your distance. 

C
Have I said too much? 
C                          Am           Dm 
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you. 
C                
But all you have to do is look at me to know 
C           Dm      C 
that every word is true.
