Im Not Crying

"I'm Not Crying" by Flight Of The Conchords

This is how I play it...I can't say if the chords (especially during the bridge
s) are dead-on accurate, but...put it this way: unless you're really particular,
this version should enable you to play a very passable version of the song.

NOTE ON THE INTRO: I find it easiest to play it this way: start off with a Cm
barre chord at the 8th fret (emphasizing the lighter 4 strings) then, from that
position, drop your middle finger to the 7th fret to form the Cm/B chord, then
pick up your middle finger completely to form a C min 7th chord.

(Also, I play the C/B chord like this: Just like a first position Em, but with
your index finger on the 2nd string, first fret. I just leave the 6th and 1st
strings open.) 

OK..here goes:

Cm                Cm/B         Cm7                             G#-Fm
So, you're leaving...I can tell...because I can see you leaving.....

Cm                                    Cm/B
But if you�re trying to break my heart...your plan is flawed from the 
     
     Cm7                                 G#         Fm
start...you can't break this heart..it's liquid..it melted when I met you...

Cm                             Cm/B                    Cm7
And as you turn around to leave...don�t turn back to me...
                                                            
                                 G#      Fm
Don�t turn around and see if I�m crying, I�m not crying...

C              C/B                    Am
I�m not crying, it�s just been raining on my face
C                                C/B
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my cheeks, please, 
Am
Please don�t tell my mates


C               C/B  Am
I�m not crying, no...I�m not crying
C                   C/B
And if I am crying, it�s not because of you
                 Am
It�s because I�m thinking about a friend of mine
Who you don�t know who is dying, that�s right, dying

G#                    F(or Dm7)              F                            
These aren�t tears of sadness because you�re leaving me,
     
     F (or Fm optional)
I�ve just been cutting onions

C   C/B      Am
I�m making a lasagna...for one

Fm          
Oh, I�m not crying, no!

C
There�s just a little bit of dust in my eye
                C/B
That�s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
        Am
I�m not weeping because you won�t be here to hold my hand
For your information there�s an inflammation in my tear gland

C
I�m not upset because you left me this way
C/B
My eyes are just a little sweaty today
             Am
They�ve been looking around, they've been searching for you
They�ve been looking for you, even though I told them not to

Fm                                         
These aren�t tears of sadness, they�re tears of joy
I'm just laughing...

C     C/B   Am     Fm
Ha   ha-ha  ha

Fm
Sitting at this table called love
        
Staring down at the irony of life
C                           C/B
How come we�ve reached this fork in the road

Am
And yet it cuts like a knife?

        C   C/B
I�m not cry-ing
        Am  G
I�m not cry-ing
        F
I�m not cry-y-y-y-y
Fm        C
y-y-y-y-y-ing
