Cry on a shoulder. G D Riff 1 Listen in the wind and open up your eyes. A And feel again. A Feel again. D G Where the roads cross A D And time stands still D G I’m frozen in my tracks A D Against my will D G The streetlight is dimming A D And it won’t shine again until G A D I say It’s not alright by me G A D Not alright by me G A D Not alright by me G A D Not alright by me G A D Not alright by me
