A-bout the cry-ing game
 3   -3bb  -3  -3bb  
I've  had  my  share
-3  4   -7  -6   5 
Of the cry-ing game

 -6     -6     -6    6     -6
First  there  were  kis - ses

Then  there  are  sighs

And then be-fore -- you know where you are

Why  there  are  heart  aches
 -6   -7     7    -6
Why  there  are  tears

And what to do -- to stop feel-ing blue
 -5   6   -5   5  -4 
When love dis-ap-pears...
