Liner Notes

Looked up while scrolling Facebook and saw a meme that said "if you need to cry me a river, I'll build a raft." And then there was a song. Here it is.

Lyrics

(no capo)
V1
G
You came to me this morning
Em
Fighting back your tears
C Am
I’ve never seen you like this
D
And we’ve been here for years
G
You said you couldn’t hold it back
Em
You were trying not to cry
C Am
But if you didn’t do it soon
D
You felt like you would die

CHORUS
C D
Cry me a river
G Em
I will build a boat to row
C D
Pack up your sorrows
G Em
I will show them where to go
C D
Cry out your flood of pain
G Em
And I will build a dam
C Am
Bring them to me, bring them here
D G
Let me show you who I am

V2
I’ll hold you close and let you cry
Your tears won’t hurt a thing
You need to let them go now
Even if they sting
You have the right to feelings
You have a claim on me
Let me hold you closer
And let them set you free

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Am
Not crying brings you madness
Em
And worsens all your fears
Am
There’s nothing wrong with sadness
D
There’s nothing wrong with tears
Am
Don’t let the shame control you
Em
Just give it all to me
Am C
You’re safe now, I am with you
D
Let it go, and let it be

V3
You don’t need to be sorry
I’m here to feel your pain
I’m here to be your right arm
And help you through again
Don’t say you’re sorry for this
It’s what you’re going through
You’ve always been there for me
Now let me be here for you

CHORUS
