VERSE: 
E 
Don't cry my sweet girl 
E                           D 
Nothin' I say is written in stone 
E 
Don't cry my sweet girl 
E                    C         Bm 
You won't really be alone, woo oh 
E 
I'll help you pack your things 
E                             D 
I'll walk with you out to the car 
E 
I'll hold on to the ring 
E                             C        Bm 
I won't forget the way things are, woo oh, 
E 
My sweet love.

VERSE: 
Your disappointed eyes 
Are haunting me like my big lies 
I see you glaring now 
I see you staring in the fire, woo oh, 
My sweet love. 
 
Don't cry my sweet girl 
Nothin' I say is written in stone 
Don't cry my sweet girl 
You won't really be alone, woo oh, 
My sweet love.
