James Blunt – Cry
Key: E Minor BPM: ♩ = 76 Time: 4/4
|Em     |Bm     |Am     |D     |
|Em     |Am     |Am     |D     |

           |Em                |Bm   |Am                              |D   |
I have seen peace, I have seen pain, resting on the shoulders of your name
              |Em                     |Am              |Am                        |D    |
Do you see the truth through all their lies? Do you see the world through troubled eyes?

|G                   |Bm                |Em                   |C    |
   And if you want to   talk about it anymore, lie here on the floor
   |G   |D      |C              |G     |
And cry    on my shoulder, I’m a friend

      |Em                     |Bm    |Am                          |D     |
I have seen birth, I have seen death, lived to see a lover's final breath
             |Em                  |Am            |Am                        |D      |
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright? Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?

|G                   |Bm                   |Em               |C    |
   And if you want to   talk about it once again, on you, I depend
    |G   |D        |C                 |G     |
I'll cry    on your shoulder, you’re a friend

|D                             |B7               |Em             |C    |
   You and I have lived through many things, I’ll hold on to your heart
|D                      |G    |B7            |B7                     |B7   |
   I wouldn't cry for anything,  but don't go tearing your life apart

      |Em                    |Am    |Am                            |D   |
I have seen fear, I have seen faith, seen the look of anger on your face

|G                   |Bm                    |Em                   |C   |
   And if you want to   talk about what will be, come and sit with me
   |G   |D      |C              |G     |
And cry    on my shoulder, I’m a friend

|G                   |Bm                |Em                   |C    |
   And if you want to   talk about it anymore, lie here on the floor
   |G   |D      |C              |G   |
And cry    on my shoulder, once again
|G   |D      |C              |G     |
 Cry    on my shoulder, I’m a friend
