    Cry Cry Cry

D5       A5       B5                G5 
I'm the kid who ran away with the circus 
D5       A5        G5   A5 
Now I'm watering elephants 
D5     A5         B5               G5 
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust 
D5         A5        G5        A5  
Dreaming  I'm in a suit of  light 
B5                   G5 
Late at night in the empty big top 
    B5               G5 
I'm all alone on the high wire 
B5                 E5 
Look he's working without a net this time 
A5                  A5  A5             
He's a real death  defyer  
D5       A5        B5                    G5 
I'm the kid who  always looked out the window 
D5       A5        G5   A5 
Failing tests in geography 
D5        A5           B5                  G5 
But I've seen things far beyond just the school yard 
D5       A5         G5      A5 
Distant shores of exotic lands 
B5                         G5 
There're the spires of the Turkish Empire 
B5                       G5 
Six months since we made landfall 
B5                  E5 
Riding low with the spice of India 
A5 
Through Gibralter  
      A5 A5     E5 C5 D5 A5   E5 C5 G5 A5 
We're rich men  
D5       A5       B5                      G5 
I'm the kid who thought we'd someday be lovers 
D5       A5              G5           A5 
Always  held out that  time would  tell 
D5        A5        B5                   G5 
Time was talking  guess I just wasn't  listening 
D5     A5            G5        A5 
No surprise if you know me well 
B5                    G5 
And as we're walking  toward the train station 
B5                   G5 
There's a whispering rainfall 
B5                   E5  
Cross the boulevard  you slip your hand in mine 
A5                   A5  A5 
In the distance the train calls  
D5        A5        B5                 G5  
I'm the  kid who  has this habit of  dreaming 
D5          A5          G5       A5 
Sometimes  gets me in trouble too 
D5        A5         B5                    G5 
But the  truth is  I could no more stop  dreaming 
D5      A5                G5         D5 
Than I could make them  all come  true
