[V-1]
D                     D7                 G                      E7
I stare into the darkness as I lie each night alone
  A                                A7                           G                  D
I pray you’ll walk back through my door.  I listen for the phone
                                    D7                      G                    E7
The hurtful things that we both said will haunt me till I die
       A                        A7                      D     G    D
Our precious love is gone, but I can’t cry
  
{ CHORUS }
A         D      D7                    C    G
I can’t cry,        I just can’t c---ry
          A                                A7                            G      D     A7 
Can’t make the teardrops flow.  I don’t know why
        D                      D7                   C   G             
Without you, life is nothing but a l---ie
  D                                   A               A7       D      G  D
I know my love, you’re gone, but I can’t cry

[V-2]
D                       D7                       G                         E7
Another dawn, another sleepless night without you near
A                          A7                      G                        D
Loss invades my empty heart, but comes without a tear
                            D7                     G                   E7
How can I face another day; why should I even try?‘
  A                       A7                         D     G    D
I feel like such a fool, ‘cause I can’t cry


[Repeat Chorus]

       G                            A            A7     D         
The pain goes on and on, yet I can't cry. 




I long to have you near, 
The “Cold Blue Lonelies” grab my soul but come without a tear

I wish I’d just break down, but I can’t cry
I’m numb.  The tears won’t come.  I just can’t cry.
