[Verse 1]
[Em]Be[C][Bm][G][C]
[Bm][C]
[Bm]
[C][Bm]
[C]
[Bm]strong!
[C][Bm][Am][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Bm](Verse 1)
Damn man, [C]it's always [A]somethin
If it ain't the phone, then the [Am]door's [C]buzzin
If they're not in [Am]school,
they on the [C]corners hustlin
[Am]All these criminals that the law is bustin
[Bm]Crime don'[C]t stop,
[Am]all good and all is sudden
[C]They was so cool,
they used to say they cousins
Went to the same school,
even played the dozens
Y'all was just [Am]boys,
now they say they wasn't
[Bm]Need to mind[Am] my own,
solve other people's problems
Fix theirs,
but mine? I don't [C]speak about em
Low key, I try to be a private person
Smile all day, [Bb]show no [C]signs of hurtin
[Bm]Who am I tryin[C] to fool?
[Am]Things keep weighin on [C]me
If it's not me,
[Am]who's gonna say it for me?
Gotta let it out, puttin up a shield isn't
Me [C]not dealin with it's how
I deal with it

[Verse 3]
And that's wrong...
[C](Chorus)
If you feel like you've been through
alot and held it inside
You might need a [Bm]shoulder to [C]cry
If you had your head up,
but now [Bm]you have trouble [C]holding it [Am]high
[Bm]You might need a shoulder to cry
[C]If you feel left alone after someone
close to you died
You might need a shoulder to cry
If you feel nothing works,
no [Bm]matter how hard you've [A]tried
[C]You might need a [Bm]shoulder to cry

[Verse 4]
[C](Verse 2)
You don't get a break from drama
Seeing how the [A]angels came
to [Am]take your Mama
[C]Took [Am]your father early, could've
waited [A]longer
[Am]Didn't make you stronger,
just made [Bm]you ponder
What you here for? [C]Yesterday you got fired
[Am]Car repo[A]ssessed,
[Am]can't control [C]your baby brother
Seen him arrest,
beef with his baby mother
How [Am]your nieces rest?
[A]Mailbox [Am]stays cluttered
[C]But never see a c[Am]heck
Many men,
but they don't know how to be direct
[B]Play games [C]on your ex
you gotta see for sex
Friends got drama [Am]too,
so they need advice
Never ask [C]what's up [Bm]with you,
so you be uptight
[Am]Have [C]your own [Bb](?), that you [Am]had it on
Never put yourself first,
so it has you torn
Flashbacks of your folks,
so you're sad and mourn
The only ones you [C]had close,

[Verse 5]
and that you had are gone...
[C](Chorus)
If you feel like you've been through
alot and held it inside
You might need a [Bm]shoulder to cry
If you [C]had your head up,
but now you [Bm]have trouble [C]holding it high
You might need a [Bm]shoulder [C]to cry
If you feel left alone after someone
close to you died
You might need a shoulder to cry
If you feel nothing works,
no [Bm]matter how hard [Am]you've tried
[C]You might need a shoulder to [Bm]cry

[Verse 6]
(Bridge) [Am]If you
can't find the happiness
that you were hoping to find
You can use my [A]shoulder to [C]cry
If [Am]you feel everyone's against [A]you,
and no [Am]one's on your side
You can use my [C]shoulder to cry
If you [Am]feel there's nothing you
can do except [Bb]run and [Am]hide
YOu can use my shoulder to cry
[C]If you[Am]'re hurt deep down and
try to smile on the outside
You can use my [C]shoulder to cry

[Verse 7]
[C](Verse 3)
Need a shoulder? Use mine
On the verge of burstin if you didn't cry
It's just a shirt, it'll dry
Headin towards self- destruction,
might help discussin
With other people cause your dealt
with your self- reluctance
May you find a substance, or a (?)
Your mind is sufferin
But on the whole,
you're wasting time frontin
You had it all together
But it fell apart
What's right in your mind
your heart can't tell apart
[Em]Moves that[C] you had to make,
you would've made different
Routes that you had to take,
you had no say in it
How it is, is gonna be how it's gonna be
[Am]But you don'[C]t wanna see that,
cause you don't agree
It's still there,
holdin [D]back won't get [C]it over
I'm here, [Em]so lower your he[D]ad
down on my [Em]shoulder
Try to fake it and [D]go on,
but you [C]can't because
It's hard to [C]cry on someone else's

[Verse 8]
when the world's on yours...
[C](Chorus)
If you feel like you've been
through alot and held it inside
You might need a [Bm]shoulder to cry
[C]If you had your head up, but now you
[Bm]have trouble [C]holding it high
You might need a [Bm]shoulder to cry
If [C]you feel left alone after someone
close to you died
[Em]You might need a shoulder to cry
If [C]you feel nothing works,
no [Em]mat ter how h[Bm]ard [A]you've tried
[C]You might need a [Bm]shoulder to cry
