Why Should I Cry Over You

Words & Music by Ned Miller & Chester Conn
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1954


D  Em7  Edim  D  Em  B7   Em  Cdim A7   
I don't know why I should cry over you, 

Em7  Cdim Em   D   Em Fdim   D  A7
Sigh over you, e - ven  be blue;

D  Em7   Edim  D   C#m7-5       F#m  C#7 F#m
I should have known that you'd leave me alone, 

B7       Cdim B7 Bm7-5 E7    A7
And break my heart in  two.

    D7   Am7      D9  Am7   G   Am7 G  
Although you have left me alone to pine,

    B7 Cdim    B7 B7/F#  E    Bm7-5     A7  
And all of my love was      a waste of time,

D   Em7 Edim   D   Em   B7 Em7  Cdim       A7  Em7
Someday your heart will be bro - ken like mine,

   Em7  Cdim    A7 Em7 Edim  D
So why should I cry o - ver you?



(Instrumental Interlude:  first 4 lines of verse)


    D7   Am7      D9  Am7   G   Am7 G  
Although you have left me alone to pine,

    B7 Cdim    B7 B7/F#    E      Bm7-5     A7  
And all of my love was  a big fat waste of time

D   Em7 Edim   D   Em   B7 Em7  Cdim       A7  Em7
Someday your heart will be bro - ken like mine,

   Em7  Cdim    A7  Em7   D    F#7  B7
So why should I cry over you?

     G        G/F#      Fdim      E7
You broke my heart, you took it apart,

    D            F#m         Cdim   B7
So pack up your baggage and leave --

 G   G/F#    E7  Edim  D
Why should I cry over you?
