[Verse 1]F#D#m7
Thought she'd be coming back
G#m7
home, tomorrow
F#D#m7
She wrote a note that she
G#m7
won't be
F#D#m7
All of my tears have been
G#m7
borrowed
F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes are on me
[Chorus]F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes are on me
F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes are on me
[Verse 2]F#D#m7
Think I'd tell her that I
G#m7
loved her, tomorrow
F#D#m7
Hope that she sees things
G#m7
the same way that I see
F#D#m7
I learnt to swim through
G#m7
my sorrows
F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes are on me
[Chorus]F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes are on me
F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes are on me
[Outro]F#D#m7
I only cry when I know that
G#m7
your eyes on me
(yeah)
F#D#m7
I only cry, cry cry little
G#m7
baby, cry
F#D#m7
(cry when I know that your
G#m7
eyes are on me, mother fucker)
(yeah)
