Tom: C

C    G  Am

[Verse 1]
  F         C        G        Am
A moment of steel; a dry-eyed house
    F          C                     G        Am
Did he say goodbye to you or did you kick him out?
  F                C        G   Am
I know you're not afraid to go alone
    F          C                   G          Am    F
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

[Interlude]
C    G  Am    F
C    G  Am

[Verse 2]

Now whatcha gonna do when the planet shifts?
Whatcha gonna do - gonna slit your wrists?
And bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today

[Chorus]
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel, the tears of a dove
Spill it all over your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

[Mandolin Break]
C    G  Am    F
C    G  Am

[Verse 3]
The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy and not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yeah, he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel

[Verse 4]
Now whatcha gonna do with the booze and the blush?
Whatcha gonna do when there's no rush?
Cop a little misery at the corner store
Well, one day that train of pain will stop no more

[Chorus]
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel, the tears of a dove
Spill it all over your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

[Mandolin Break]
C    G  Am    F  x3
C    G  Am

[Verse 5]
Throwing up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love, well what's it for?
The heart will remember the burning fire
The next time you feel the flame of desire

[Chorus] (x2)
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel, the tears of a dove
Spill it all over your heart from above
Cry love, cry love
