Intro
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Didn’t I hear you cry this morning, didn’t I feel you weep
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Teardrops flowin’ down on me, like rivers in my sleep
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
And in my dream of laughter, you came creepin’ with your fears
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Telling me your sorrows, in the tracings of your tears
D#m C# Cb C#
That’s a strange way to tell me you love me
D#m C# Cb C#
When your sorrow is all I can see
D#m C# Cb C# Cb
If you just want to cry to somebody, don’t cry to me, no
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Don’t cry to me, no
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Didn’t I hear your voice this morning, didn’t you call my name
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
I heard you whisper softly, but the words were never plain
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
And in your dream of darkness, I came shinin’ like the sun
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never comes
CHORUS
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
Didn’t you feel alone this morning, didn’t you need a friend
Cb C# D#m9 Cb
And in your darkest hour, you came runnin’ back again

FLUTE SOLO
REFRAIN CHORUS
(Note: Ordinarily, only the top four strings are played throughout the song. The
5th and 6th strings, A# and E, are not played and left silent. And, in all chord
forms throughout the song, the D# string is played, but not fretted, leaving the
open D# string to pedal throughout the song. On the Cb for example, the first
finger is placed on the first fret of the high F string, the little finger on the
third fret of the C string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the G#
string. The D# is left open. For the C# chord that follows, just move the entire
chord form up two frets, which should leave the index finger on the third fret.
The D#m9 is played like an Am, but the middle finger is lifted to leave an open G.)
