[Verse 1]
D                    E
  Sit there and call me
    A    G#m   F#m
  a liar and a cheat
D        E                        A*
  I just wish you'd pin a rose on me
D               E
  Now you won't even
       A       G#m    F#m
  come out and take a bow

[Chorus]
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now

[Verse 2]
D          E
  Now your poets
  A            G#m        F#m
  have all put down their pens
D                   E
  The only songs to sing
      A*
  are those sung again
D             E
  Lonely just doesn't
       A       G#m F#m
  look good on you somehow

[Chorus]
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now

[Bridge]
Dm                A*
  I just keep on staring
Dm                           A*
  into the black eyes of the truth
Dm                       A    G#m   F#m
  We'll have to learn to live apart somehow

[Chorus]
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now
D              E        A*
  Cryin' won't help you now
D              E    C  D       A*
  Cryin' won't help youu, help now
