[Intro]
| G#m | D#7b9 | E | C#dim7  :||
 
 
[Verse 1]
G#m            D#7b9
  You were my sun
E            C#dim
  You were my earth
G#m                D#7b9                   E         C#dim7
  But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
G#m               D#7b9
  So you took a chance
E               C#dim7
  And made other plans
G#m                     D#7b9                           E             C#dim7
 But I bet you didn't think your thing would come crashing down, no
 
 
[Bridge]
G#m                      D#7b9
You don't have to say, what you did
   E             C#dim7
I already know, I found out from him
G#m7                               D#7b9
Now there's just no chance, for you and me
         E            C#dim7
There'll never be, and don't it make you sad about it
                                                     (You told me ...)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m                D#7b9
  You told me you loved me
            E             C#dim7
Why did you leave me, all alone
G#m                D#7b9
  Now you tell me you need me
            E             C#dim7
When you call me, on the phone
G#m                D#7b9
  Girl I refuse
                E             C#dim7
You must have me confused with some other guy
G#m                D#7b9
  Your bridges were burned
                E             C#dim7
And now it's your turn to cry
 
 
[Chorus]
        G#m                D#7b9
Cry me a river
              E             C#dim7
Cry me a river
      G#m                D#7b9
Cry me a river
              E             C#dim7
Cry me a river, yeah yeah
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#m                D#7b9
  I know that they say
                     E             C#dim7
That some things are better left unsaid
G#m                 D#7b9
         It wasn't like you only
 E                   C#dim7
talked to him and you know it (Don't act like you don't know it)
G#m                 D#7b9
  All of these things people told me
 E                   C#dim7
Keep messing with my head (Messing with my head)
G#m                D#7b9
  You should've picked honesty
     E             C#dim7
Then you may not have blown it (Yea ...)
 
 
[Bridge]
G#m                      D#7b9
You don't have to say, what you did
   E             C#dim7
I already know, I found out from him
G#m7                               D#7b9
Now there's just no chance, for you and me
         E            C#dim7
There'll never be, and don't it make you sad about it
                                                     (You told me ...)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m                D#7b9
  You told me you loved me
            E             C#dim7
Why did you leave me, all alone
G#m                D#7b9
  Now you tell me you need me
            E             C#dim7
When you call me, on the phone
G#m                D#7b9
  Girl I refuse
                E             C#dim7
You must have me confused with some other guy
G#m                D#7b9
  Your bridges were burned
                E             C#dim7
And now it's your turn to cry
 
 
[Chorus]
        G#m                D#7b9
So cry me a river (go on and just)
              E             C#dim7
Cry me a river (go on and just)
      G#m                D#7b9
Cry me a river  (go on and just)
              E             C#dim7
Cry me a river, yeah yeah
 
 
[Interlude]
G#m   D#7b9               E                     C#dim
       The damage is done - So I guess I be leaving
G#m   D#7b9               E                     C#dim
       The damage is done - So I guess I be leaving
G#m   D#7b9               E                     C#dim
       The damage is done - So I guess I be leaving
