E 
That coat that I gave you 
              A 
All shiny and black 
                   B 
Well I'm sorry, my darling 
                  E 
But I'm taking it back 
 
I don't want to spoil the party 
But I've got to go home 
You can stay if you want to 
If you want to sleep alone 
 
                 A 
Some are born to greatness 
                 E 
Some are born to die 
                  B 
Never knowing the difference 
              E 
Never knowing why 
                 Asus4    A 
Some are born to change the world 
                E 
Some never even try 
                      
But darling, you and I 
B               E 
We were born to cry

Black has become your favourite colour 
For all the things it can conceal 
And as we lie here together 
I know exactly how you feel 
 
It's time for me to leave this party 
But I've just got to ask you first: 
If you're only trying to make things better 
How come they always turn out worse? 
 
Mm, some are born to greatness 
Some are born to die 
Never knowing the difference 
Never knowing why 
Some are born to change the world 
Some never even try 
But darling, you and I 
We were born to cry

Oh, some are born to greatness 
And some are born to die 
Never knowing the difference 
And never knowing why 
Some are born to change the world 
Some never even try 
But darling, you and I 
We were born to cry 
 
Yes, darling, you and I 
We were born to cry. 
 
Born to cry
