McPherson grew up in rural southeastern Oklahoma, on a cattle ranch near the town of Talihina. His father was a farmer and ex-army while his mother was a church minister. He took up the guitar at age 13. In high school he played in a number of local punk rock bands and began writing his own songs.

[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
F
You're at the whitest wedding
F
Their black is very slimming
F
But everybody's staring at you
F
You're sipping your darjeeling
F
And staring at the ceiling
F
You dream about it splitting in two
Bb
And every time the wind blows
Bb
You open up the windows
Bb
The china crashes down on the floor
F
It's really got me hurting
F
I'm trembling and I'm cursing
F
I'm rattled more than ever before
[Chorus]
C Bb
You say there's nothing I could do to ever satisfy you
F
Cause crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
[Verse 2]
F
I kinda held my head down for most of the ride
F
Skimming through Rosetti and Poe
F
I never felt the spinning of this machine I been in
F
I never saw the ice on the road
Bb
And every time it thunders
Bb
You always sit and wonder
Bb
Should we climb the roof and watch it roll in
F
I think I'm sinking under
F
I'm feeling torn asunder
F
It's really getting under my skin
[Chorus]
C Bb
You say there's nothing I could do to ever satisfy you
F
Cause crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F
You never see the danger
F
In telling every stranger
F
There's something sinister in your blood
F
Contrary propositions
F
Have always left me smitten
F
But hell is pouring on like a flood
Bb
I need an indication
Bb
A bit of education
Bb
This love affair is worth dying for
F
It really had me hurting
F
A-tremblin' and a-cursin'
F
But I'm tangled more than ever before
[Chorus]
C Bb
I guess there's nothing I can do to ever satisfy you
F
Cause crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
F
Crying's just a thing that you do
