Cruel — Tori Amos
Chords and lyrics for Cruel by Tori Amos (key of A#m).
Verse 1
[A#m]So don’t give me [D#m]respect
Don’t give me a [C#]piece of your [G#]preciousness
[A#m]Flaunt all she’s got in our [D#m]old neighborhood
I’m [C#]sure she’ll make a few [G#]friends
[A#m]Even the rain bows [G#]down let us pray
As [Fm]you cock-cock-cock your [G#]mane
[A#m]No cigarettes, [D#m]only
peeled Havanas[G#] for [Fm]you
Chorus
I can be [A#m]cruel
[C#] I don’t know [F#]why
[G#] Why can’t my [A#m]balloon stay [C#]up
In a [F#]perfectly windy [G#]sky?
I can be [A#m]cruel
[C#] I don’t know [F#]why
[Fm] I don’t know [A#m]why
Verse 2
[A#m]Dance with the Sufis
[D#m]Celebrate your top [Fm]ten
in the charts of [G#]pain
[A#m]Lover brother [D#m]Bougainvillea
My [Fm]vine twists around your [G#]need
[A#m]Even the rain is [D#m]sharp like today
As [C#]you sh-sh-shock me [G#]sane
[A#m]No cigarettes, [D#m]only
peeled Havanas[Fm] for [G#]you
Chorus
I can be [A#m]cruel
[Fm] I don’t know [F#]why
[G#] Why can’t my [A#m]balloon stay [C#]up
In a [F#]perfectly windy [G#]sky?
I can be [A#m]cruel
[C#] I don’t know [D#m]why
[Fm] I don’t know [A#m]why
