Verse
B Bmaj7
If I showed you my teardrops
Emaj7 Em
would you collect them like rain.
A F#m
Would you store them in jars
C#7 B7 Bm7
that are labelled with „pain“.
[Verse 2]
B Bmaj7
Would you follow their tracks
Emaj7 Em
from my eyes down my cheeks
A F#m
As they write all the stories
C#7 B7 Bm7
I´m so frightened to speak.
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Would you hold my face gently
G#m C#m
as you dry both of my eyes.
Am Emaj7
And kindly whisper the words
B F# F#m
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 3]
B Bmaj7
Would you stop them with kisses
Emaj7 Em
bring there flow to a halt.
A F#m
As you teach me that pain
C#7 B7 Bm7
couldn´t always be my fault.
[Verse 4]
B Bmaj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
Emaj7 Em
would you show me your own
A F#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
C#7 B7 Bm7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Would you hold my face gently
G#m C#m
as you dry both of my eyes.
Am Emaj7
And kindly whisper the words
B F# F#m
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 5]
B Bmaj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
Emaj7 Em
would you show me your own
A F#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
C#7 B7 Bm7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Outro]
A F#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
C#7 B7 Bm7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
