You Never Cry Like a Lover Lyrics

John David Souther & Don Henley
Eagles
On the Border
This is another early Henley ballad, a great song which
is really easy to play. Once I got the opening I got the
rest of the song on the first run-through. I will put
up the acoustic part and lyrics first, then I'll attempt
the electric part below. Have fun!
All single-note runs are (g a c):
You never cry like a lover should
Sigh-ay-ay when it feels real good
Or see the sky through the stone and wood
You never cry like a lover
I thought I saw somebody I loved
Sleepin' deep inside you
If I could catch you at an unguarded moment
I'd stay right there beside you
You never smile at me late at night
Laugh out loud when we get it right
You can't get loose if there's too much light
You never smile like a lover
(Try a little harder) I can't live with you baby
(Harder) Can't live without it.
(Try a little harder) And sometimes I believe in love
But sometimes I doubt it
But your life goes on
Like a broken-down carousel
Where somebody left the music on
I was hopin' you were the one
I was hopin' you were the one
I was hopin' you were the one
I was hopin' you were the one
You never move like you used to do
Pour it out when you're feelin' blue
Somebody must have put some pain on you
You never cry like a lover
You never cry like a lover
You never cry like a lover
Cry (You never cry like a lover)
You never cry (Cry like a lover)
Come on and cry (You never cry like a lover)
(Cry like a lover)
Cry (You never cry like a lover)
(Cry like a lover)
(You never cry like a lover)
Bernie has some great riffs in here, and I don't know
if I've got them all right, but I tried. Good luck!
Variations of this are played during each chorus, just play around
with it to get it. It shouldn't be too hard.
