[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
