    [Verse 1] 
    C                   F                         G
    I know she told you,honey I know she told you that she loved you,
         Em          F                              G
    much more than I did,but all I know is that she left you.
                  C                        Em
    And you swear that you just don´t know why,
    Am
    but you know, honey I´ll always,
                   Dm                 G
    I´ll always be around if you ever want me.
    [Chorus]
    G               C    F   C    F   C
    And and cry,cry baby,cry baby,cry baby,
    G                      Am
    oh honey, welcome back home. 
    [Verse 2]
              C    F                              G

           Em            F                      G
    the wa-ay I try to do? Who´ll take all your pain,
           C        Em        Am
    honey, your heartache,too?And if you need me,you know
                         Dm                G
    that I´ll always be around if you ever want me.

    C                                      F
    And when you walk around the world,babe,
                          G
    you said you´d try to look for the end of the road,
    C                                                       F
    you might find out later that the road´ll end in Detroit,
                                   G
    honey, the road´ll even end in Kathmandu.
    C
    You can go all around the world,
    F                                             G
    trying to find something to do with your life,baby,
    C
    when you only gotta do one thing well,
    F                                   G
    you only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world,babe.
    C
    You got a woman waiting for you there,
    F                     G
    all you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman,
    C
    and that´ll be the end of the road, babe.
    D
    I know you got more tears to share, babe,
    And cry....
