You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance,
And made other plans.
But I bet you didn't think your thing would come crashing down, no
 
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance
For you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it
 
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone?
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
To cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river
Cry me a river, yeah yeah
 
I know that they say
That somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it (yeah)
 
You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did) I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it
 
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone (all alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone (when you call me on the phone)
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy (I'm not like them baby)
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn (It's your turn)
To cry, cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river, yea yea
Oh, The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh The damage is done
So I guess I be... leaving
 
You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did) I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it
 
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river (You can go on and just)
Cry me a river, yea yea
 
Cry me a river (Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river, yea yea (Ain't gonna cry no more, yea-yea)
 
Cry me a river
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh
 
Cry me a river, oh (Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh (Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh (Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh (Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh (Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh (Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river (Cry me, cry me)

All the frets are relative to the capo. So with the capo on the 4th fret, it means that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd frets are actually the 5th, 6th, and 7th and so on. Hope that made enough sense for you.
