I didn't come to see you with her
I just came to dance alone on my own
I didn't drive for hours for our
Love to be replaced and left on the road

And what you don't know
Is I'm dying but I should live a little
'Cause I only want you when I'm breathing
I won't react no, not even a little
Won't mess up my make-up this evening

I've got chords that cry
They play the way I feel
To get me through the night
I listen till I'm healed
All these emotions in me they
Need somewhere to go
I just walked into this party there's
No way that I'm going home
So I'm so lucky I, I've got chords that cry

And they're crying and crying for me
And they're crying and they're crying
And they're crying and crying for me
And they're crying and they're crying, yeah
And they're crying and crying for me

I've got chords that cry
Play the way I feel get me through the night
Listen till I'm healed

I'm in control of my composure
But deep down in my lungs
I just wanna scream
And you couldn't hold her any closer
And nothing could be further than you and me

And what you don't know
Is I'm dying but I should live a little
'Cause I only want you when I'm breathing
I won't react no, not even a little
Won't mess up my make-up this evening

I've got chords that cry
They play the way I feel
To get me through the night
I listen till I'm healed
All these emotions in me they
Need somewhere to go
I just walked into this party there's
No way that I'm going home
So I'm so lucky I, I've got chords that cry

And they're crying and crying for me
And they're crying and they're crying
And they're crying and crying for me
And they're crying and they're crying, yeah
And they're crying and crying for me

I've got chords that cry
Play the way I feel get me through the night
Listen till I'm healed

I've got chords that cry
They play the way I feel
To get me through the night
I listen till I'm healed
All these emotions in me they
Need somewhere to go
I just walked into this party there's
No way that I'm going home
So I'm so lucky I, I've got chords that cry
And they're crying and crying for me

And they're crying and they're crying
And they're crying and crying for me
And they're crying and they're crying, yeah
And they're crying and crying for me

I've got chords that cry
