*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Cry Cry Cry - The Kid
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C  
I'm the Gkid who Amran away with the Fcircus
CNow I'm Gwatering FeleGphants
CBut I Gsometimes Amlie awake in the Fsawdust
CDreaming GI'm in a Fsuit of Glight
AmLate at night in the Fmaj7empty big top
I'm Amall alone on the Fmaj7high wire
AmLook he's working wD7ithout a net this time
GHe's a real death Gsus4defier G  
CI'm the Gkid who Amalways looked out the Fwindow
CFailing Gtests in geFograGphy
CBut I've Gseen things Amfar beyond just the Fschool yard
CDistant Gshores of Fexotic Glands
AmThere're the spires of the Fmaj7Turkish Empire
AmSix months since we made Fmaj7landfall
AmRiding low with the D7spice of India
GThrough Gibraltar, we're Gsusrich Gmen 
INTERLUDE:   Dm   Bb   C     G   Dm   Bb   F  G  
CI'm the Gkid who Amthought we'd someday be Flovers
CAlways Gheld out that Ftime would Gtell
CTime was Gtalking, Amguess I just wasn't Flistening
CNo surGprise if you Fknow me wGell
AmAnd as we're walking Fmaj7toward the train station
AmThere's a whispering Fmaj7rainfall
AmCross the boulevard D7you slip your hand in mine
GIn the distance the Gsustrain Gcalls 
CI'm the Gkid who Amhas this habit of Fdreaming
CSometimes Ggets me in Ftrouble Gtoo
CBut the Gtruth is AmI could no more stop Fdreaming
CThan I Gcould make them Fall come Ctrue
