Percy Sledge - First You Cry CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] It don’t come cheap When they look like that And they’re so hard to keep And they move so fast Soon you’ll find It’s all for the best Put the past behind And the hurt to rest [Chorus] But first you cry Then you sigh Somebody lied And you can’t run and hide Don’t be so sad It ain’t so bad You’ll get by Oh but first you cry [Verse 2] Candy Mountains Streets of Gold Oh the promises How they just turn cold Till the sun will shine There will be warmer days You’ll be feeling fine If you just walk away [Chorus] But first you cry Then you sigh Somebody lied And you can’t run and hide Don’t be so sad It ain’t so bad You’ll get by Oh but first you cry [Instrumental] [Bridge] Don’t look back There’s nothing to gain ’Cause there ain’t no happiness Without a little rain [Chorus] But first you cry Then you sigh Somebody lied And you can’t run and hide Don’t be so sad It ain’t so bad You’ll get by Oh but first you cry [Chorus] First you cry Then you sigh Somebody lied And you can’t run and hide Don’t be so sad It ain’t so bad You’ll get by Oh but first you cry
