[Intro]GbAbmEbm[Verse 1]Gb
I wanna show you
Abm
my secret place
Ebm
Where I can show
my real face
Gb
This mask is hard
Abm
to keep glued down
Ebm
I need to let the
curtains down
Gb
The edges peel
Abm
the grissle shows
Ebm
It looks undone
from the front row
[Chorus]GbAbm
Coming to the

crying room
GbAbm
I never share my
Ebm
little doom
[Verse 2]Gb
Once you see
Abm
you need to stay
Ebm
Can't let my
secrets see the
day
[Chorus]GbAbm
Coming to the

How to play The Crying Room: key, chords and progression
The Crying Room by The Yagas is centred on F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯). The song uses 4 chords: Gb, Abm, Ebm and B.
The progression the song keeps returning to is Gb – Abm – Ebm – Gb (I – ii – vi – I in F♯ major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – lah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes D, Em, Bm, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
