 It would be difficult to find a rock &amp; roll star -- and that was what he was for two years in the mid-'60s -- less likely than Gary Lewis, or a less probable chart-topping act than Gary Lewis &amp; the Playboys. Lewis himself was possessed of a limited singing range and didn't have what could be considered good looks, yet with a lot of help he managed to make some exceptionally good (and good-selling) records out of Los Angeles, in the midst of the British Invasion, and teenagers loved him.

I never did too much to make her stay here,
D                                  Em  A
And words of love to her I'd never say.
  G                 A                D             B7
I guess I learned a lesson when she..walked out to stay,
    G               A         D               B7
But I'm, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her,
G              A              D
I'm sure gonna miss her every day.

I don't suppose I ever said, 'I Love You.'
                                     Em    A
And I found out too late that wasn't right.
    G        A                 D
I'm just now realizin', what I lost,
D              B7
That's why I'm cryin',
        Em         A         D          B7
And I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her,
G          A               D
Sure gonna miss her, every night.

CHORUS:
Eb                         D
I know I took her love for granted.
Eb                              D
Guess you could say my love was blind.
Eb                               D        B
Thought if she left that I could stand it,
   E               E7            A    A7
or else, it didn't matter at the time.

  D
I heard she's found a guy that treats her better.
                                  Em  A
I hope he knows that he's a lucky guy.
  G                 A                D       B7
I know the rumour's true because I...saw her today,
        Em         A
And I'm sure gonna miss her,
D              B7
He was walking with her,
G              A                 D
I'm sure gonna miss her, yes...I am.

Verse 2:
I just saw your best friend

Everything was really fine
And that your love was still just mine
But she didn't realize
I could see it in her eyes
She was telling lies
Wo, I can read between the lines, yeah

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
