I cried for you

I Cried For You
Katie Melua

A
You're beautiful so silently
G
It lies beneath a shade of blue
D E
It struck me so violently
A Ad9
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

A Bm
I cried for you
E
When the sky cried for you
E6
And when you went
E7 A Ad9
I became a hopeless drifter
A Bm
But this life was not for you
E
Though I learned from you
E6 E7 A
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper

Bm E
Without you now I see
A E D
How fragile the world can be
Em E
And I know you've gone away
A E D A
But in my heart you'll always stay

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper
