			    "Why Do I Cry"
			    (Barry Tashian)

Intro:	C7#9  F  Gm  F	[3X]

Verse 1:

	        C7#9         F            Gm                F
	I would lose all my blues if you promise that your love was
	     C7#9     F  Gm  F
	     true now
	   C7#9           F          Gm             F   C7#9   F  Gm  F
	And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do now
	            Dm       Am
	'Cause you leave me alone
	   Dm        Am
	To cry on my own
	   Dm              Am           F       G
	I swear you got a heart that's made of stone
	 F       G
	Made of stone

Verse 2:

	And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do
	But I do now
	I cry, you know why, I would die if you left me again
	The tears and the years would have all surely been in vain, now

	But you keep on leavin' me alone
	To cry on my own
	I swear you got a heart that's made of stone
	Made of stone
