Tom: Am

C             E7
nowhere to go, no one to call
F                     D7
nothin' to do, except nothin' at all
    C                     C/B      A7
the same old climb up the same old walls
D7                 G     G7
I've fallen down before
              C                C7
you see, I've been so down and so depressed
          F             D7
I've been overworked and overstressed
    C         C/B     A7
but deep down here, I know I'm blessed
  D7          G      C
I ain't gonna cry no more

[Verse 2]
      C
No, I ain’t gonna cry
  C7
I ain’t gonna scream
  F                           D7
I ain’t gonna let ‘em kick no holes in my dreams.
  C        C/B      A7
I won’t be fallin’ apart at the seams
     D7               G
Like I’ve always done before.
              C                     C7
You know I’ve used my fist and I’ve used my voice,
          F                  D7
Hell I’ve used myself like a cheap Rolls-Royce
  C          C/G          A7
I never knew I could just use my choice.
  D7          G      C
I ain’t gonna cry no more (ain’t gonna cry)


[Verse 3]
        C                  E7
You see people talk behind peoples’ backs,
     F                   D7
They scheme and plot and plan attacks.
    C        C/B          A7
But someday soon we’ll be switching tracks
     D7                    G
In a way the world can’t ignore.
   C                 C7
So call your buddies, call all your friends,
F                       D7
Call all your enemies - make amends.
      C         C/B               A7
We’re formin’ a club and lettin’ everyone in.
   D7          G      C
We ain’t gonna cry no more.
         C
I said I ain’t gonna cry
     C7
No I ain’t gonna cry
  F               D7
I don’t wanna cry anymore
         C         C/B               A7
So we’re formin’ a club and lettin’ everyone in
   D7          G      C
We ain’t gonna cry no more!
