Intro: E  F#  B (x2) 


verse 1 

C#m7 
Day by day 
            Eb7 
Someone we really love 
         Abm 
Seems to feel the pain 
             F#/F  F#/E  F#/D#  F#/C# 
We're always thinking of 
Ebm 
But you know 
           Abm 
If only we were the men 
C#m7 
That we're supposed to be 
               F#/F  F#/E  F#/D#  F#/C# 
That wouldn't happen again 

  B 
I wish I could cry 
  Abm 
I wish I could cry 
  C#m7                      F# 
I wish I could cry I cry today 
  B 
I wish I could die 
  Abm      
I wish I could die 
  C#m7             E    F#   B  (x2) 
I do wish I'd die away 

verse 2 

C#m7 
Now I fear 
         Eb7 
We must accept the fact 
           Abm 
That what happened here 
              F#/F  F#/E  F#/D#  F#/C# 
Was simply a vicious act 
Ebm 
And you know 
                  Abm 
I just can't help wondering how 
C#m7 
Long it will be before 
          F#/F  F#/E  F#/D#  F#/C# 
Somebody else must bow 

  B 
I wish I could cry 
  Abm 
I wish I could cry 
  C#m7                      F# 
I wish I could cry I cry today 
  B 
I wish I could die 
  Abm      
I wish I could die 
  C#m7             E    F#   B  (x2) 
I do wish I'd die away 

  C#m7                E   F#   B   x2 
I do wish I'd die away
