Subject: Crying For Nothing    Kevin Welch     Lyrics/Chords

Kevin Welch    Cryin For Nothin  written by Kevin Welch

E  C#m  E  C#m

       E
I am a full grown fool

And I should have know better
A
But I tried and I tried

And I could not forget her
        E
I would go back to her

Time after time
A                    B
Man I must have been out of mind
              E
All  of that crying for nothing
            C#m
All of that trying for nothing
            A
What has it ever got me
            B
What has it ever taught me
            E
I've got to keep believing
    C#m
In something baby
                A
Instead of just trying for nothing
B                     E    E C#m   E  C#m
Crying for nothing at all
E
We fought for love

And we fought for trust
A
And the whole blessed time

It was right there in front of us
    E
But we could not reach it

I don't know why
A
And it took so long
        B
Just to say goodbye
              E
All  of that crying for nothing
            C#m
All of that trying for nothing
            A
What has it ever got me
            B
What has it ever taught me
E
I've got to keep believing
    C#m
In something baby
                A
Instead of just trying for nothing
B                     E   m
Crying for nothing at all
F#m
Her friends all told me

Mine told me
    E
But we would not listen

We could not see
F#m,
Me and my pride

Her and her dreams
B
We never stood a chance it seems

SOLO

              E
All  of that crying for nothing
            C#m
All of that trying for nothing
            A
What has it ever got me
            B
What has it ever taught me
E
I've got to keep believing
    C#m
In something baby
                A
Instead of just trying for nothing
B                     E    E C#m   E  C#m
Crying for nothing at all
