Tom: C

[INTRO:] C  G        Am  F  G    Am  F  G
 
[VERSE 1:]

I know the way you're feeling, I know you're hurt inside
                             Am      F      G
But there's no easy way, you can't deny the truth

You say it ain't worth trying, that's not the way I see it
                                     Am  F               G      Dm
I think you're hiding, 'cause you're so afraid you might lose


[PD-C HORUS:]
                                     F            G     Dm
Stand up and fight it, 'cause you've been there before
                                   C          G       F
You've reached the point where you can't turn back no more

So if you're gonna cry at all


[CHORUS:]
    C
Cry tough
                  Am
And never let 'em get to you
    Em
Cry tough
                       F
Just keep your spirits high
               C
It's gonna get rough
                   Am
So if you're gonna make it through
        Em
You cry tough
               F
And let your colours fly


[INTERLUDE:] Am  F  G    Am  F  G


[VERSE 2:]

This ain't no game were playing, this ain't no give and take
                                     Am      F       G
Well, don't you know, there's always someone keeping score

Life has its share of heartaches, love can be twice as bad
                           Am   F  G     Dm
Things aren't so simple anymore_______


[PD-C HORUS:]
                            F           G    Dm
I'm on your side, don't you know that I am
                                 C        G      F
There comes a time you've got to stop and make a stand

So if you're gonna cry at all


[CHORUS:]
    C
Cry tough
                  Am
And never let 'em get to you
    Em
Cry tough
                       F
Just keep your spirits high
               C
It's gonna get rough
                   Am
So if you're gonna make it through
        Em
You cry tough
               F
And let your colours fly


[BRIDGE:]
Everyday your heart beats faster
Every night you're on your own
                                     C    Am
In every way your life is still your own___

So if you're gonna make it through

And let your colours fly
