Jimi Jamison - Cry Tough
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] C G Am F G Am F G
[VERSE 1:]
I know the way you're feeling, I know you're hurt inside
Am F G
But there's no easy way, you can't deny the truth
You say it ain't worth trying, that's not the way I see it
Am F G Dm
I think you're hiding, 'cause you're so afraid you might lose
[PRE-CHORUS:]
F G Dm
Stand up and fight it, 'cause you've been there before
C G F
You've reached the point where you can't turn back no more
So if you're gonna cry at all
[CHORUS:]
C
Cry tough
Am
And never let 'em get to you
Em
Cry tough
