G
Sixteen six strings I could barely play it
Loved you but I didn't know just how to say it
Cmaj7
Tailgate serenade I was nervous
Sweating Keith Whitley but hey,
I guess it worked, 'cause
G
Didn't even have to wonder what you thought
You said it best when you said nothing at all
Cmaj7
Felt like a Rockstar watching those happy
tears fall

Chorus:
                     G
I love to make you cry, I, I
       Cmaj7
Know I hit that right emotion
When your eyes fill up with oceans
                          G
Girl I love to make you cry, I, I
         Cmaj7
Know I'm really onto something
When that mascara's running
                          G
Girl I love to make you cry

Twenty-three, buying twenty-four carrots (Ooh)
Got that ring 'fore I even asked your parents
Bet I look crazy driving around gulf shores
Talking to a little black box on the dashboard
I admit it for a minute I was stressed
Gave me a hug but you forgot to say, "Yes"
But it was written on your cheeks
Girl, I didn't have to guess, that's the best

Chorus:
                     G
I love to make you cry, I, I
     Cmaj7
know I hit that right emotion
When your eyes fill up with oceans
                          G
Girl I love to make you cry, I, I
         Cmaj7
Know I'm really onto something
When that mascara's running
                          G
Girl I love to make you cry
Yeah I love to make you cry
                 Cmaj7
I aint even got emotions
I aint even wanna lie
                           G
Cause I love to make you cry

                                     G
Sometimes I want to run out of the room
Because when you do it
                       Cmaj7
I can't help but do it too
Set the waterworks free, no shame on me
Let them know

Chorus:
I love to make you cry
Know I hit the right emotion
(Hit the right emotion)
When your eyes fill up with oceans
(Your eyes fill up with oceans)
Girl I love to make you cry
Know I'm really onto something
(Really onto something)
When that mascara's running
(Mascara's running)
Girl, I love to make you cry
(Girl, I love to make you cry)
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I love to make you cry, cry, cry
(I ain't even gonna lie)
I ain't even gonna lie, lie, lie
I love to make you cry, cry, cry
Girl, I love to make you cry
(Girl, I love to make you cry)
Yeah, I love to make you cry, cry, cry
(I ain't even gonna lie)
I ain't even gonna lie, lie, lie
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
I love to make you cry, cry, cry

I love to make you cry
