, , ,  x2
I  sat myself down Tuesday,  wrote  myself a song
Just  things I want to  say, about  what is wrong
 But all  of my complainin’,  well it comes  to no avail
 The things  I really need  to say I’ve yet  to learn myself
...I  won’t cry,  no.  And I won’t wail,  no
...I  tell myself  that you  can never  fail
 Until it’s over
 And when it’s over,  it’s over
 So I wrote myself a letter, and I sent it off to you
 To make myself feel better, I tried to tell the truth
 I wrote a song for Jesus Christ, and one for Noah’s Ark
 I sang a song for mornin’ light and I still sat in the dark
 I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no
 I tell myself that you can never fail
 Until it’s over
 And when it’s over, it’s over
 So I accept I can do nothing, do nothing at all
 I see myself, a big, long road and I build myself a wall
 I dig myself a tunnel, so I could get on under
 And join the rest of the human race, just ask ‘why?’ and wonder
 I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no
 I tell myself that you can never fail
 Until it’s over
 And when it’s over, it’s over

So I wrote myself a letter, and I sent it off to you
To make myself feel better, I tried to tell the truth
I wrote a song for Jesus Christ, and one for Noah’s Ark
I sang a song for mornin’ light and I still sat in the dark

I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no

I won’t cry, no. And I won’t wail, no
I tell myself that you can never fail
Until it’s over
And when it’s over, it’s over
