I started playing songs by J.Rice after listening to his "Thank You For The Broken Heart". He has an impressively soothing voice and style of music that actually touches one's heart. This song "Ok To Cry" is another great song sung with great emotions and expression. Please visit J.Rice Channel to listen to the actual song. Just Google or YouTube Search for JRice.
This song is pretty straightforward to play.

Introduction :
RH : C D F G repeat
LH : F C, E C, A G, D F, Bb F
I don't know where to go from here,
cause anywhere that I go , you're there
so many streets, different names,
but they all lead to the same lonely place
And I don't know how to start again,
...don't even know where or how to begin
Cause when you're this low everywhere you try to go
looks like a dead end
(Left Hand slowly and emotionally dances on F, E, D, to Bb and repeat. Right Hand plays the melody according to the lyrics with simple chords when you feel like it)
And now that everything is over..
(moving up from G, A, Bb, to C)
I'll cry, if I still hurt, I'll cry,
cause after I feel better,
It's to hard to keep inside
all the emotion I feel tonight
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's so hard for another love,
finding yourselfe after you break up
( It's ok to cry )
(Chorus, try to use more chords for Right Hand here. Left Hand plays same chords F E D Bb)
Found [? ... ?]
I lost my balance when you let go,
I get up again, fall in love again, I gotta heal my soul
And when the past brings back the pain,
don't be afraid to face the rain
cause it don't wash away any trace of yesterday,
and you feel OK,
but after everything is over,
(Left Hand slowly and emotionally dances on F, E, D, to Bb and repeat. Right Hand plays the melody according to the lyrics with simple chords when you feel like it)
if I still hurt...
(moving up from G, A, Bb, to C)
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's to hard to keep inside
all the emotion I feel tonight
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's so hard for another love,
finding yourselfe after you break up
(Chorus, try to use more chords for Right Hand here. Left Hand plays same chords F E D Bb)
A broken heart will stop the world from spinning,
a second chance will wait for you to start living again...
I'm maybe down but I ain't out forever,
I'm holding out for something so much better
(Bridge! Left Hand Octaves with chords on G C D E F then second them G A Bb C)
but if I ever hurt...
(C)
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's to hard to keep inside
all the emotion I feel tonight
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's so hard for another love,
finding yourselfe after you break up
(Chorus, try to use more chords for Right Hand here. Left Hand plays same chords F E D Bb)
( It's OK to cry )
( It's OK to cry, to cry )
( It's OK to cry... )
