Standard (EADGBE)

 You clean your room and under your bed

Lay a picture long forgotten

 With a hand to your head you sigh out loud

 As a memory rushes over

 And buries you

Summer rain storm

 But the shed was dry

 With a girl from Carolina

And you held her so tight

For the warmth that the rain denied

As the time was slow to a flash

So alive

Listen to them when they say

Chorus

Cry in the sun

When the devil beats his wife

Cry, cry, cry in the sun

 Hope I never see the price of my freedom yeah

 We dance and sing now

Trace the moon

 As it crawled across the night sky

Covered in a dream

 A lovers' pact

Here's the now and don't look back

Oh and how I tried

To heed the words written here

Chorus

Cry in the sun

When the devil beats his wife

Cry, cry, cry in the sun

 Hope I never see the price of my freedom

Bridge

For everyone yeah

There's a person place or time

That brings you back and makes you feel alive

 Before your reason clouds your eye

 You could rule the world if you wanted to

 Well I hear you're living far away

 And that life's treated you well

You know that we were young and this picture's old

But I still can hear you say through the pounding of the rain

And don't if you try

Tell me can you hear them say

Chorus

Cry in the sun

When the devil beats his wife

Cry, cry, cry in the sun

 Hope I never see the price of my freedom

 Hope I never see the price of my freedom
