[INTRO]
[E] [F#] [B] (x 2)
[VERSE 1]
[C#m7]Day by day
Someone we r[Eb7]eally love
Seems to [Abm]feel the pain
We're always [F#/F#]thinkin[F#/E]g of [F#/D#] [F#/C#]
[Ebm]But you know
If only we [Abm]were the men
[C#m7]That we're supposed to be
That wouldn't h[F#/F#]appen a[F#/E]gain [F#/D#] [F#/C#]
[CHORUS]
I [B]wish I could cry
I [Abm]wish I could cry
I [C#m7]wish I could cry I cry tod[F#]ay
I [B]wish I could die
I [Abm]wish I could die
[C#m7] [E] [F#] [B] (x2)
I do wish I'd die away
[VERSE 2]
[C#m7]Now I fear
We must a[Eb7]ccept the fact
That what h[Abm]appened here
Was simply a v[F#/F#]icious [F#/E]act [F#/D#] [F#/C#]
[Ebm]And you know
I just can't help [Abm]wondering how
[C#m7]Long it will be before
Somebody e[F#/F#]lse mus[F#/E]t bow [F#/D#] [F#/C#]
[CHORUS]
I [B]wish I could cry
I [Abm]wish I could cry
I [C#m7]wish I could cry I cry tod[F#]ay
I [B]wish I could die
I [Abm]wish I could die
[C#m7] [E] [F#] [B] (x2)
I do wish I'd die away
[C#m7] [E] [F#] [B] x2
I do wish I'd die away
