Stop Before I Cry Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I know [Em]that I'm not perfect
[D]Just like I know you are wil[G]d[D]
I know that though we're both [Em]grown [D]up
I still feel like a child [G]inside
[D]And I wanna go out dancing
Soon as the world returns
'Cause baby,
when you're dressed [G]up[D]
Well, it's hard to [G]find the words
[D]And if you look into my soul
And you told me what you see
You'd say, "I [G]see the [D]mirror
That you put in front [G]of me"[D]
Oh, don't take me to the start
No, I want to go forward
Baby, [Em]if we [D]part
Katie, if I [G]hide[D]
Then I can live in [Em]your songs [D]forever
And you can live in [G]mine[D]

[Verse 2]
'Cause Katie when you [Em]sing [D]to me
It's like [G]a melody[D]
Comin' off the [G]mountain[D]
Comin' out the [G]sea
[D]Stoppin' at the pla[G]ins[D]
Up into a Memphis [G]sky[D]
Katie, stop the [G]song now[D]
Stop before I cry
[Em]Stop before I

[Verse 3]
[G]cry[D]
Stop before I [Em]cry[D]
Stop before I [Em]cry[D]
Stop before I [G]cry[D]
[G][D][Em][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[D]And you know they'll
feed us [G]fruit[D]
Right before they suck our [G]blood
[D]Yeah, they'll fill us up with sug[G]ar
[D]While they drag us through the
[G]mud[D]
And it's hard to find the [Em]freedom[D]
That we feel when [Em]we're asleep[G]
[D]'Cause right now I am wid[Em]e awa[D]ke
Always stuck inside a [G]dream[D]
And I know that you got [G]secrets
[D]And you know I got them
[G]too[D]
'Cause you've seen me ride a [G]nightmare,
[D]honey
And you taught me how to [G]shoot[D]
Oh, remember when we [G]met[D]
How we were so [G]young[D]
You were still suckin' on a [G]bottle
[D]Like it was suckin'
on God's [G]thumb[D]
But from stage,
you would take [G]flight[D]
And whistle like a [Em]songbird
[D]While swayin' in a [Em]blue [G]dress
[D]You'd turn the crowd into a big[G] mess
[D]'Cause Katie when you

[Verse 5]
[Em]sing [D]to me
It's like [G]a melody[D]
Comin' off the [Em]mountain[G][D]
Comin' out the [G]sea
[D]Stoppin' at the pla[G]ins
[D]Up into a Memphis sky[G][D]
Katie, stop the [G]song now
[D]Stop before I cry[Em]

[Verse 6]
Stop before I [Em]cry[D]
Stop before [Em]I cry[D]
Stop before I [Em]cry[D]
Stop before I [G]cry[D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[G]
[D][G][D]
[G]
[Em]
You can [G]get lost

[Verse 7]
[D]forever
When your heart is a [G]desert
[D]And you can lose you[G]r mind[D]
When it's stormin' all the [G]time[D]
But I wanna go out [G]dancing[D]
Soon as the world [G]re [D]turns
'Cause, Katie,
when you're [G]dressed [D]up, honey
Oh, it's hard to find the [G]words
