Intro:
| A augmentedA A7A7 | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | D/ED/E | A augmentedA |
| A augmentedA A7A7 | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | D/ED/E | A augmentedA |


Verse:
A augmentedA          Esus4/C#       | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
When she was leaving, she didn't make much sense
A augmentedA          Esus4/C#       | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
She said before I go, just give me one last kiss
       Dm7Dm7    Dm6Dm6
I'd tried to tell her
       Amaj7Amaj7      F#m7F#m7
That it would only add to the pain
         Bm7Bm7     A/EA/E E MajorE       | Amaj7Amaj7 | F#m7F#m7 | Bm7Bm7 | D/ED/E |
That's when those tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears started to rain


Verse:
     A augmentedA Esus4/C#     | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
As I look back I see mistakes we made
   A augmentedA      Esus4/C#        | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
But I never thought, that we would lose our way
      Dm7Dm7    Dm6Dm6
I tried to hold her
  Amaj7Amaj7          F#m7F#m7
I tried to persuade her to wait
         Bm7Bm7     A/EA/E E MajorE         | Amaj7Amaj7 | D/ED/E A7A7 |
But those leavin' tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears are always too late

Middle 8:
  Dmaj7Dmaj7      C#m7C#m7         Bm7Bm7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
I'd hate to try and count the tears that fall
B minorBm           D MajorD       | E MajorE F# minorF#m | GdimGdim E/G# |
Maybe you should never count tears at all (= LINK)
Bm7Bm7          D/ED/E
Something was lost and we never found it
  Bm7Bm7        D/ED/E
No matter how hard we tried
    Bm7Bm7          D/ED/E
And it seems that there's no way to get around it
    Bm7Bm7  A/C#A/C# Dmaj7Dmaj7 | Esus4Esus4 | E9E9 |
When tears tell you good-bye


Verse:
     Amaj7Amaj7 Esus4/C#       | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
Tonight I saw her, I didn't know what to say
     Amaj7Amaj7   Esus4/C#     | Dmaj7Dmaj7 | E7sus4E7sus4 E MajorE |
I just tried to smile, but had to walk away
      Dm7Dm7     Dm6Dm6
I turned to tell her 'I love you'
      Amaj7Amaj7     F#m7F#m7
But she had faded into the rain
         Bm7Bm7     A/EA/E E MajorE         | Amaj7Amaj7 | F#m9F#m9 |
Now those lonely tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears are all that remain
         Bm7Bm7     A/EA/E E MajorE             | Amaj7Amaj7 | F#m9F#m9 |
Now those lonely tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears ... are startin' over again
        (break)

Coda:
Bm7Bm7    E7sus4E7sus4
Lo-o-onely tears
Bm7Bm7 E MajorE  | A augmentedA | A augmentedA
Lo-o-onely tears
