At the same time, I was seeing a woman in a relationship that I knew damn well would never work out.  She was living with a different guy and I knew that she would never leave him.  Then I watched Notting Hill.  That&#8217;s the message behind this song.  You want so much your life to be like the movies, but it never is.<\/p>\n<p>Musically speaking, it is one of my more mature songs.  The chord progression is unique, and not a knock off from a popular strong.  Plus the words still hit home today.  Then my friend, Tom Garber, put together the score in a very pleasant way.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-135-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/cry.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/cry.mp3\">https:\/\/chengrob.com\/songs\/cry.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<blockquote>\n<pre>CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP\n\nD       Asus D     Asus\nWatched this crazy movie\nG6\nHow the guy gets the girl \nD       Asus D     Asus\nAs much as I wanna believe\nG6\nIt's not the real world\n\n\n           Em7\nI gotta to stop all these feelings\n        Esus\nand the things I wanna believe\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n\n\nD    Asus D       Asus\nWhen I'm watching movies\nG6\nto see how things could be\nD    Asus   D         Asus\nBut still I'll always know\nG6\nYou're not her, and he's not me \n\n         Em7\nI got to stop all these feelings \n        Esus\nand the things I wanna believe \n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n\nBridge\n      Em7\nI got tears on my pillow \n    Esus\nand sweat on my sheets\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nit's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nit's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n\n\nD    Asus D   Asus\nJust like the movie\nG6\nEvery story has an end\nD       Asus      D      Asus\nAs much as I want you as my girl\nG6\ni just wanna be your friend\n\n\n         Em7\nI got to stop all these feelings \n        Esus\nand the things I wanna believe\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n\n\n      Em7\nI got tears on my pillow \n    Esus\nand sweat on my sheets\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep\n     Em7            Esus          G6\nIt's time for me to cry myself to sleep<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote this song shortly after watching the film, Notting Hill, with Julia Roberts.
