Don’t cry for me Argentina

C F
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
Dm C
when I try to explain how I feel
Dm7 C
that I still need your love after all that I've done.
C Am Am7 D
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
D9 G
although she's dressed up to the nines
D G G7
at sixes and sevens with you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to let it happen, I had to change

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new

But nothing impressed me at all.

I never expected it to.

C F C
Don't cry for me, Argentina
F C F C
The truth is, I never left you
Dm7 Am
All through my wild days, my mad existence
C F
I kept my promise. Don't keep your distance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And as for fortune, and as for fame

I never invited them in

though it seemed to the world they were all I desired.

They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be

The answer was here all the time:

I love you, and hope you love me.

Have I said too much?
Am G
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
Am
But all you have to do is look at me to know
G Am7 C
that every word is true.
