G                     C
You never cry like a lover should
Sigh when it feels real good
Or see the sky through the stone and wood
You never cry like a lover

Chorus:
C                    D7
I thought i saw somebody i loved
Fm               C
Sleeping deep inside you
If i could catch you in an unguarded moment
I'd stay right here beside you

You never smile at me late at night
Laugh out loud when we get it right
You can't get loose if there's too much light
You never smile like a lover

Chorus:
Try a little harder I can't live with you baby,
Can't live without it, try a little harder
And sometimes i believe in love
Sometimes i doubt it

          Am   G   F
But your life goes on
                    Am
Like a broken down carousel
G               F
Where somebody left the music on

Am                           G
I was hoping you were the one
F                            G
I was hoping you were the one
Am                           G
I was hoping you were the one
F                            F#
I was hoping you were the one

You never move like you used to do
Pour it out when you're feeling blue
Somebody must have put some pain on you
You never cry like a lover

(you never cry like a lover)
Cry
(you never cry like a lover)
You never cry
(cry like a lover)
Come on and cry
(you never cry like a lover)
You never cry
(cry like a lover)
You never cry
(cry like a lover)
