[Verse]
      Cm
We're caught up in a web, you and I
      Eb/G           Ab
Since Crystal came between us
    Fm                               Cm
The knots of friendship seem to be untied
       Cm
And it hurts me most to cheat and that's no lie
        Eb/G             Ab
She can swing us both forever
       Fm                 G7             Cm
In the long run she's the one who must decide

[Chorus]
           Ab        Eb
And if she leaves me handle her with care
Bb
Don't hurt little Crystal
           Ab                      Eb
And if she calls you long distance just be there
Bb
Oh Crystal
    Cm                    Cm(maj7)/B
The world is your oyster, you're a pearl
    Cm7/Bb              F7/A
But he's a jewel and my friend
    Ab                    Bb                           Eb
I'm sure that in the end, Crystal you'll be his little girl
Fm7  Ab     Bb  Eb
Oh          Cry-stal

[Verse]
       Cm
You're stronger than me but I'm sure
         Eb/G                Ab
That the fight would fall to no one
    Fm                                  Cm
The cold hard truth is stronger than us all
       Cm
And it breaks my heart to see us go this far
           Eb/G                     Ab
We're just captives in our separate cells
        Fm                 G7                 Cm
And without her there's no peace behind these bars

[Chorus]
           Ab        Eb
And if she leaves me handle her with care
Bb
Don't hurt little Crystal
           Ab                      Eb
And if she calls you long distance just be there
Bb
Oh Crystal
    Cm                    Cm(maj7)/B
The world is your oyster, you're a pearl

But he's a jewel and my friend
    Ab                    Bb                           Eb
I'm sure that in the end, Crystal you'll be his little girl
Fm7  Ab     Bb  Eb
Oh          Cry-stal
