Just a rough version, Capo 4.
Harmonically this is quite complex for a pop song, so I didn't find an easier way to play it without barres.
I find the Dm sounds nicer as a barre than as an open chord, but your mileage may vary. I think the bridge
should all be barres for the same reason.
Intro
E Am E Am
Verse one
E Am
Cry, cry out your eyes for ever,
Bsus4 B A
It won't go away
E Am
I, I'm just a dumb observer,
Bsus4 B A
It's so stupid what I say
Chorus
E E7
Like every one else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Bm Dm Dbm7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up
Bm7 E A A7
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
Verse two
E Am
And so, nobody lives forever,
Bsus4 B A
the crassest of cliches
E Am
Like time, time is the greatest healer,
Bsus4 B A
but its a murderer today
Repeat Chorus
Mid 8
A7 Dbm7 D
You know me holding you won't change anything,
Dbm7 D
I can't stop this whole charade continuing,
E D
As each consoling kiss remains on your face,
Bm E A A7
Like a stain
Verse three
E Am
So cry, cry out those tears and let them,
Bsus4 B A
succumb to gravity
E Am
And try, try as I might I'll never,
Bsus4 B A
fill that vacancy
E E7
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you,
Bm Dm Dbm7
And tell you that life is cruel but someday your gonna wake up,
Bm7 E A
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes,
A7 Dbm7
Someday your gonna wake up,
D E A
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
