INTRO:   (each chord is one bar)

Bb     C     Am add4     Bb               (play progression 2x)


1ST VERSE:

 Bb                C               Am add4             Bb        
Didn't I hear you cry this morning, didn't I feel you weep?
 Bb                C              Am add4        Bb
Teardrops flowin' down on me like rivers in my sleep
 Bb                  C               Am add4             Bb
And in my dream of laughter you came creepin' with your fears
 Bb              C             Am add4           Bb
Telling me your sorrows in the tracings of your tears


CHORUS 1:

           Dm        C                   Bb       C           
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
           Dm        C                   Bb       C
When your sorrow is all I can see
        Dm           C                   Bb
If you just want to cry to somebody
 C           Bb                   Dm     C     Am add4     Bb
Don't cry to me, no, don't cry to me,          no


2ND VERSE:

 Bb                  C                 Am add4             Bb
Didn't I hear your voice this morning, didn't you call my name?
Bb                   C              Am add4            Bb
I heard you whisper softly, but the words were never plain
 Bb                   C               Am add4          Bb
And in your dream of darkness, I came shinin' like the sun
 Bb               C               Am add4         Bb
Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never comes


Play CHORUS 1, then:

Bb     C     Am add4     Bb


3RD VERSE:

 Bb               C                 Am add4             Bb
Didn't you feel alone this morning, didn't you need a friend?
 Bb                  C             Am add4        Bb
And in your darkest hour, you came running back again


CHORUS:

           Dm        C                   Bb       C           
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
           Dm        C                   Bb       C
When your sorrow is all I can see
        Dm           C                   Bb
If you just want to cry to somebody
 C           Bb                    C
Don't cry to me, no,  don't cry to me
             Bb               C
Don't cry to me, don't cry to me, don't cry to


BREAK:    (the Break is a flute solo)

Dm      C         Bb      C               (play progression 10x)
me
Yeah

Dm      C         Bb

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |

OUTRO:

           Dm        C                   Bb       C
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
           Dm        C                   Bb       C
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
           Dm        C                   Bb       C       Dm
That's a strange way to tell me you love me

Notes:

- I'm not sure if Am add4 is the correct name for that chord in the Verse
  progression (probably not, but that's what a chord finder called it). This 
  is how it's played:
            E  A  D  G  B  E
            x  0  0  2  1  0     (low A note is optional)
