[Intro]
| A A7 | Dmaj7 | D/E | A |
| A A7 | Dmaj7 | D/E | A |
[Verse]
A Esus4/C# | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
When she was leaving, she didn't make much sense
A Esus4/C# | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
She said before I go, just give me one last kiss
Dm7 Dm6
I'd tried to tell her
Amaj7 F#m7
That it would only add to the pain
Bm7 A/E E | Amaj7 | F#m7 | Bm7 | D/E |
That's when those tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears started to rain
[Verse]
A Esus4/C# | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
As I look back I see mistakes we made
A Esus4/C# | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
But I never thought, that we would lose our way
Dm7 Dm6
I tried to hold her
Amaj7 F#m7
I tried to persuade her to wait
Bm7 A/E E | Amaj7 | D/E A7 |
But those leavin' tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears are always too late
[Middle 8]
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 | E7sus4 E |
I'd hate to try and count the tears that fall
Bm D | E F#m | Gdim E/G# |
Maybe you should never count tears at all (= LINK)
Bm7 D/E
Something was lost and we never found it
Bm7 D/E
No matter how hard we tried
Bm7 D/E
And it seems that there's no way to get around it
Bm7 A/C# Dmaj7 | Esus4 | E9 |
When tears tell you good-bye
[Verse]
Amaj7 Esus4/C# | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
Tonight I saw her, I didn't know what to say
Amaj7 Esus4/C# | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
I just tried to smile, but had to walk away
Dm7 Dm6
I turned to tell her 'I love you'
Amaj7 F#m7
But she had faded into the rain
Bm7 A/E E | Amaj7 | F#m9 |
Now those lonely tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears are all that remain
Bm7 A/E E | Amaj7 | F#m9 |
Now those lonely tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears ... are startin' over again
(break)
[Coda]
Bm7 E7sus4
Lo-o-onely tears
Bm7 E | A | A
Lo-o-onely tears
