Cruel is the gos -pel  that sets us all free and takes you away   from   me
      
Cdim                  Bm7  A    Gm     Bm
     There is no Chicago  	urban   blues 
A		   Bm    Cmaj7	    Bm	A	
More heartfelt than my   lament for you
          Bm	 F#m	          Gmaj7	        Em
I'm a liberal guy:      too cool  for the macho ache
	Bm	 F#m	 	Gmaj7          Em
With a secret tooth 	for the cherry on the cake
	Bm	 F#m	           	      Gmaj7	  Em
With a pious smile, 	a smile that changes what I say
	Bm	F#m	          Gmaj7	       Em
While I waste my time 	in regretting that the days
	    Cm9 	     Cm9*  Bm9      Bbm9/Bm9
Went from perfect to just     okay.

Coro:
Bm       A                
Lordy, what would I do?
          F#m		      Fdim			       Bb11sus4
Don't call me possessive (but God if he's smooching with you!)
        A
I's a jealous boy root
F#m		    Fdim			       Bb11sus4
The world should be free (but don't you go following suit!)
       A
My heart is aligned
F#m		          Fdim		Bb11sus4
It couldn't be neutral (I couldn't be that way inclined)
A	 	       F#m		D 		       Em
It's hard to defend, ba ba ba ba ba ba these feelings my tuppentup friend
       A	       F#m	       D		      Em
It's cruel, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba  (repetir x2)
       A 	         A13
It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel, but . . . (repetir intro)

             Bm7  A    Gm    	  Bm 	A
Should a love be tender, or bleed out loud?
		   Bm           Cmaj7	 Bm         A
Or be tougher than tough,  and prouder than proud?
           Bm       F#m          		Gmaj7          Em
If I'm troubled by 	every folding of your skirt,
         Bm   F#m            Gmaj7            Em
Am I guilty of 	every male-inflicted hurt?
          Bm                F#m          Gmaj7               Em
But I don't know how to 	describe the modern rose
Bm          F#m               Gmaj7                 Em
When I can't refer 	to the shape against her clothes 
	    Cm9  Cm9*  Bm9      Bbm9/Bm9
With the fever of purple prose.
