The Sound Of Your Cry

A  A/G  D/F#  D/F  A  A/G  D/F#  D/F

[Verse 1]

A     A/G          D/F#   D/F
  The clock by the bed is ticking
A      A/G         E
  too loud in the quiet night
A   A/G         D/F#     D/F
  I lie in the darkness thinking
A    A/G      E
  I must go before it's light.
A                 E
  Before you open up your eyes
        F#m            Dm
and you beg me to stay
      A                     E
I'll leave 'cause I can't stand
            F#m           E
to see you hurt this way.

[Chorus 1]

 Dm              G
Sleep my love aa-as
           C       Am
as I kiss you goodbye
     Dm            G
Then I won't he-e-ear
                    E
the sound of your cry.

[Verse 2]

A       A/G         D/F#     D/F
  Though I knew the time was coming
A     A/G            E
  and our love would end somehow
A   A/G           D/F#    D/F
  I just couldn't bear to tell you
A   A/G          E
  exactly just when or how.
A             E
  I know we can't go on,
             F#m           Dm
that it was wrong to start
    A                E
But if you wake up crying now,
                 F#m            E
you know you'll break my heart.

[Chorus 1] (x3)
 Dm              G
Sleep my love aa-as
           C       Am
as I kiss you goodbye
     Dm            G
Then I won't he-e-ear
                    E
the sound of your cry.
