G#m           D#
You were my sun
E            C#m
You were my earth
G#m              D#                 E         C#m
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
G#m              D#
So you took a chance
E               C#m
And made other plans
G#m                   D#
But I bet you didn't think your thing would come
  E            C#m
crashing down, no

G#m                  D#
You don't have to say, what you did,
  E               C#m
I already know, I found out from him
G#m                             D#
Now there's just no chance, for you and me,
           E
there'll never be
    C#m                   G#m    C#m
And don't it make you sad about it

Chorus:
                G#m
You told me you loved me
 D#           E             C#m
Why did you leave me, all alone
G#m                 D#
Now you tell me you need me
          E                C#m
When you call me, on the phone
G#m                 D#              E
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
C#m
With some other guy
G#m               D#                         E
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
    C#m          G#m  D#
To cry, cry me a river
          E   C#m
Cry me a river-er
         G#m   D#
Cry me a river
          E      C#m
Cry me a river-er, yea yea

You know that they say that some things are better
left unsaid
And it wasn't like you only talked to
him and you know it
Don't act like you don't know it
And all of these things people told me keep messin'
with my head (Messin' with my head)
Should've picked honesty,
then you may not have blown it, yeah

You don't have to say (Don't have to say)
What you did (What you did)

And don't it make you sad about it?

Chorus:
You told me you loved me,
why did you leave me all alone? (All alone)
Now you tell me you need me when
you call me on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl, I refuse, you must have me
confused with some other guy (Not like them, baby)
The bridges were burned, now it's your turn
(It's your turn) to cry (So)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river (Yeah, yeah)

Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I'll be leavin'
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I'll be leavin'
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I'll be leavin'
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh (Oh, well)
The damage is done, so I guess I'll be
l-l-l-l-leavin' (Oh, oh, oh)

You don't have to say (Don't have to say)
What you did (What you did)
I already know (I already know)
I found out from him (Uh)

Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river (You can go on and just)
Cry me a river (Yeah, yeah)
Cry me a river (Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Come on, baby, cry)
Cry me a river (Don't wanna cry no more, yeah, yeah)

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
Oh, cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)
