[Verse 1]
         E
Ev'ry body knows where you go when the sun goes down.
                                  B7
I think you only live to see the lights uptown.
  E
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
         A                                         B7         E
'Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry, cry, cry.
E
Soon you're sugar daddies will all be gone.
                                  B7
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone.
          E
You'll call for me, but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye.
       A                                B7        E
When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry.
 
[Chorus]
                       E
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone.
     A                                E
When ev'ryone's forgotten and you're left on your own
             B7         E
you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

[Verse 2]
  E
I lie awake at night to wait till you come in.
                                        B7
You stay a little while and then you're gone again.
         E
Ev'ry question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie.
     A                              B7          E
For ev'ry lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
                    E
When your fickle love gets old no one will care for you.
                                         B7
Then you'll come back to me for a little love that's true.
     E
I'll tell you no, and then you'll ask me "why, why, why?"
     A                                  B7         E
When I remind you of all of this you'll cry, cry, cry.
 
[Chorus]
                       E
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then. 
      A                          E
It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been
             B7         E
you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

Thanks for the comment! And you're absolutely correct. Seems it has been a little too much copy/paste on the chorus there.. I'll correct it! :)

Tab seems spot on, but chords are positioned over the wrong lyrics!

The last chorus is wrong, apart from that everything is ship shape. But those lyrics should be: You're gonna cry cry cry and you'll want me then It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been You're gonna cry, cry, cry
