From the recording Existential Frontiers
Lyrics
Everything but Crying
C G D G
I tried drowning her memory in tequila because whiskey couldn’t handle the chore
C F C F G
I tried smoking grass from sunrise to sunrise, it just made me hungry, lazy and high
C F C F C G
I tried chasing after a new love, I tried redheads, blonds, brunettes and white lies
C F C G C
But memories of her brown eyes still made me shiver deep inside
C G F G
I tried everything but crying, I tried everything but tears
C G C G C
I held it all inside me, when I should have been crying for years
C F C G C
What the hell was I waiting for, I should have tried crying before
C G D G
I tried transcendental meditation, I read books about god I couldn’t understand
C F C F G
I traveled to India and Indiana, bought a guitar and joined a band
C F C F C G
I searched for truth, I sought freedom inside and outside of me
C F C G C
But memories of her brown eyes still made me shiver deep inside
(Chorus)
