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
