[Verse 1]
    G
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down.
                                 A           D
I think you only live to see the lights of town.
  G
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
C                                                  D           G
When the lights have lost their glow, you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
 
G
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone.
                                A               D
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone.
       G
You'll call to me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye, bye,"
      C                                  D            G
When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry,
 
[Chorus]
G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone,
          C                          G
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own.
             D            G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.
 
[Verse 2]
  G
I lie awake at night and wait 'til you come in.
                                        A       D
You stay a little while and then you're gone again.
     G
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie.
     C                               D            G
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
 
G
When your fickle little love gets old, no one will care for you.
                                   A               D
You'll come back to me for a little love that's true.
G
I'll tell you no then you'll ask me why, why, why?
     C                                   D            G
When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry.
 
[Outro]
G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then,
      C                           G
It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been.
             D            G
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.

WRONG, the song is played with a capo on the first fret and the chords are A (Bb without capo), E (F without capo) and B7 (C7 without capo).

These chords work. Yes cash uses a capo. You dont have too. This works for people who like to sing in the key of G. Chords are correct. Although the lyrics are wrong. The verses need to be switched around. Here it is correctly. Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down I think you only live to see the lights of town I wasted my time when I would try, try, try When the lights have lost their glow you're gonna cry, cry, cry I lie awake at night to wait till you come in You stay a little while and then you're gone again Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own You're gonna cry, cry, cry Soon your sugar daddies will all be gone You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry When your fickle love gets old, and no one will care for you You'll come back for me for a little love that's true I'll tell you no and then you gonna ask me why, why, why When I remind you of all of this you'll cry, cry, cry You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you, you'll want me then It'll hurt when you think of all the fool you've been You're gonna cry, cry, cry Thanks

OH and the lyrics are in the wrong order.
