[Verse]
        C             G              F
Well, I wanted you to love me, but I never thought you did
     C             G          F
So I wanted you to hate me or something instead
C             G         F
Wanted your reaction so bad it hurt
      Dm         Am         G             C     F
And I tried everything, but nothing would work

[Verse]
           C                 G                F
Well, it's hard to show your love when you're broken inside
      C                G             F
And I couldn't see the pain that you had to hide
      C       G            F
I was hard on you 'cause I misunderstood
Dm         Am          F           G
But I know you did the best you could

I could hear you say

[Chorus]
      F       Em
Don't cry for me
          G           F     Dm
Don't you cry, little girl
          Am       G
Don't you know I'm free?
        F         Em
You can save your tears
      G      F      Dm
For a lonely world
              Am      G
But don't you cry for me

[Verse]
        C             G               F
Well, I wanted you to make it, but it never worked out
      C             G                F
And I wanted you to know what it was all about
  C             G            F
I wanted you to be something that never was
      Dm           Am                 G        C      F
But a winner looks different than you think he does, oh

[Verse]
        C             G                F
Well, I wanted you to love me like you never knew how
        C            G        F
And I regret all the things I didn't do now
        C       G           F
But the past is gone and my prayers came true
        Dm           Am                 F           G
But the answers look different than you think they do

I can hear you say

[Chorus]
      F       Em
Don't cry for me
          G           F     Dm
Don't you cry, little girl
          Am       G
Don't you know I'm free?
        F         Em
You can save your tears
      G      F      Dm
For a lonely world
          Am      G
Don't you cry for me

[Instrumental]
Am    F  C  Am    G

[Chorus]
      F       Em
Don't cry for me
          G           F     Dm
Don't you cry, little girl
          Am       G
Don't you know I'm free?
        F         Em
You can save your tears
      G      F      Dm
For a lonely world
          Am      G
Don't you cry for me

[Chorus]
      F       Em
Don't cry for me
          G           F     Dm
Don't you cry, little girl
          Am       G
Don't you know I'm free?
        F         Em
You can save your tears
      G      F      Dm
For a lonely world
          Am      G
Don't you cry for me
C   G     C
Oh, oh
