Cry Me A River

 
         Em 
Cry me a river 
Em 
Fill it up with regrets 
    Cmaj7 
The secrets you kept 
                       Am 
It’s what you do best, huh? 
Am 
Let the water rise 
Am 
Til I drown in your lies 
                  Em 
When you cry me a river 
Em 
The life that we built 
        Cmaj7 
Take it out with your guilt 
Cmaj7 
Oh well, oh well 
           Am 
Maybe I’ll put up a fight 
Am 
And make a boat of your pride 
Am 
Try to make it through the night 
Am 
Cry me a river 



Em 
I’ll drink it down like liquor 
Cmaj7 
Sip it all day long 
Cmaj7 
Til it’s a poison in my liver 
Am 
Slow killer 
Am 
Finger on the trigger 
Am 
Could you send a rogue tsunami? 
Am 
Maybe then it might be quicker 
Em 
Might break my heart just a little 
Cmaj7 
But all these scars have made it bitter 
Am 
The bridges we’ve built out of splinters 
Am 
Throw some gas and light a match 
Am 
And burn ‘em til they’re cinders 
Em 
Smother it out with your apologies 
Cmaj7 
Play with my mind with your twisted psychology 
Am7 
Gimme a line from sadistic ideologies 


 
         Em 
Cry me a river 
Em 
Fill it up with regrets 
    Cmaj7 
The secrets you kept 
                       Am 
It’s what you do best, huh? 
Am 
Let the water rise 
Am 
Til I drown in your lies 
                  Em 
When you cry me a river 
Em 
The life that we built 
        Cmaj7 
Take it out with your guilt 
Cmaj7 
Oh well, oh well 
           Am 
Maybe I’ll put up a fight 
Am 
And make a boat of your pride 
Am 
Try to make it through the night 
         Em 
Cry me a river 
Cmaj7 
Cry 
         Am 
Cry me a river 



Em 
I can hear sirens 
Em 
I feel the winds change 
     Cmaj7 
Take cover, take shelter 
Cmaj7 
They’re calling for rain 
Am 
I can hear sirens 
Am 
I feel the winds change 
Am 
Send me a hurricane 
Em 
I can hear sirens 
Em 
I feel the winds change 
     Cmaj7 
Take cover, take shelter 
Cmaj7 
They’re calling for rain 
Am 
I can hear sirens 
Am 
I feel the winds change 
Am 
Send me a Hurricane 


 
         Em 
Cry me a river 
Em 
Fill it up with regrets

It’s what you do best, huh? 
Am 
Let the water rise 
Am 
Til I drown in your lies 
                  Em 
When you cry me a river

Try to make it through the night 
         Em 
Cry me a river
