      [Verse 1]

F      C     G
  Woke up to snow, it's Christmas again
F            C         G
  But you're still not home, got thrown in the pen
F         C         G
  And I'm six years old, sitting here thinking "Why am I always alone?"

F      C        G
  So I watch my momma, from the back of the van
F        C          G
  As she drove along, and having seven kids
F      C         G
  Must have been hard, but daddy couldn't stay out of the bar


[Chorus]

         F      C    G
  It's a crying game, seeing him in prison on 
  F         C    G
  Christmas day
                           F      C        G                             Am
  Twenty years later still such a shame to have a broken heart at such a 
  Dm    G
  young age
           Am Dm   G            F  C   G
  Now it's all the same, it's a crying game


[Verse 2]

F   C          G
  I missed the call and woke to find 
F    C           G                           F
  My brother was gone, that's when I lost my mind 
     C              G
  at eighteen years old, wondering how life could be so cold

F        C         G
  But we came together, like never before
F        C            G
  All my brothers and sisters kept momma at shore
F        C       G
  til we lost another, it's hard to know just what to think no more


[Chorus]

         F      C    G                 
  It's a crying game, to have to put my brothers 
  F        C      G
  in their graves, life ain't perfect, but it's 
  F      C           G                                Am
  Such a shame, they left behind the stories that they 
  Dm    G
  never made
           Am Dm   G            F  C   G
  Now it's all the same, it's a crying game


[Bridge]

Dm                     F
Living and loving gets me through the pain
C                        G
Don't take for granted a soul or a day
Dm                      F
Anywhere I'm going it's crazy to think that
C                              G
There's a million other people out there playing


[Chorus]

  F      C    G
A crying game, there's no winning and 
   F      C     G
no one to blame, life is fragile and can
F        C    G                                 Am
slip away and let me tell you when it does, it's 
Dm     G
such a shame
         Am Dm   G            F   C  G
But it's all the same, it's a crying game
