[Verse 1]
 
Dm                 C                Dm9                Bb
Didn't I hear you cry this morning, didn't I feel you weep?
Dm                 C                Dm9           Bb
Teardrops flowin' down on me, like rivers in my sleep
Dm                 C                   Dm9                Bb
And in my dream of laughter, you came creepin' with your fears
Dm                 C                Dm9           Dm     Bb (Full barre chord)
Telling me your sorrows, in the tracings of your tears
 
 
[Chorus]
         Dm              C          Bb       C
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
         Dm         C          Bb       C
When your sorrow is all I can see
         Dm          C          Bb    C    Bb  C  Bb (Full barre chord)
If you just want to cry to somebody, don't cry to me, no
      C      Dm  C Bb C
Don't cry to me, no
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                 C                   Dm9                 Bb
Didn't I hear your voice this morning, didn't you call my name?
Dm                  C               Dm9               Bb
I heard you whisper softly, but the words were never plain
Dm                   C                Dm9                Bb
And in your dream of darkness, I came shinin' like the sun
Dm               C                Dm9             Dm     Bb (Full barre chord)
Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never comes
 
 
[Chorus]
         Dm              C          Bb       C
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
         Dm         C          Bb       C
When your sorrow is all I can see
         Dm          C          Bb    C    Bb  C  Bb (Full barre chord)
If you just want to cry to somebody, don't cry to me, no
      C      Dm  C Bb C
Don't cry to me, no
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm               C                   Dm9                Bb
Didn't you feel alone this morning, didn't you need a friend?
Dm                  C               Dm9          Dm     Bb (Full barre chord)
And in your darkest hour, you came runnin' back again
 
 
[Chorus]
         Dm              C          Bb       C
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
         Dm         C          Bb       C
When your sorrow is all I can see
         Dm          C          Bb    C    Bb  C  Bb (Full barre chord)
If you just want to cry to somebody, don't cry to me, no
             Dm  C Bb C
Don't cry to me
             Dm  C Bb C
Don't cry to me
             Dm  C Bb C
Don't cry to me
             Dm
Don't cry to me

That's a strange way to tell me you love me

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
         Dm              C          Bb       C
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
