If I showed you my teardrops

would you collect them like rain.

that are labelled with „pain“.
[Verse 2]
A# A#maj7
Would you follow their tracks
D#maj7 D#m
from my eyes down my cheeks
G# Fm
As they write all the stories
C7 A#7 A#m7
I´m so frightened to speak.
[Chorus]
C#m G#m
Would you hold my face gently
Gm Cm
as you dry both of my eyes.
G#m D#maj7
And kindly whisper the words
A# F Fm
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 3]
A# A#maj7

bring there flow to a halt.

As you teach me that pain
C7 A#7 A#m7
couldn´t always be my fault.
[Verse 4]

would you show me your own

we´ll never ever be left alone.

Would you hold my face gently

as you dry both of my eyes.

„you´re much too precious to cry“.

we´ll never ever be left alone.
