Verse
F# F#maj7
If I showed you my teardrops
Bmaj7 Bm
would you collect them like rain.
E C#m
Would you store them in jars
G#7 F#7 F#m7
that are labelled with „pain“.
[Verse 2]
F# F#maj7
Would you follow their tracks
Bmaj7 Bm
from my eyes down my cheeks
E C#m
As they write all the stories
G#7 F#7 F#m7
I´m so frightened to speak.
[Chorus]
Am Em
Would you hold my face gently
D#m G#m
as you dry both of my eyes.
Em Bmaj7
And kindly whisper the words
F# C# C#m
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 3]
F# F#maj7
Would you stop them with kisses
Bmaj7 Bm
bring there flow to a halt.
E C#m
As you teach me that pain
G#7 F#7 F#m7
couldn´t always be my fault.
[Verse 4]
F# F#maj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
Bmaj7 Bm
would you show me your own
E C#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
G#7 F#7 F#m7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Chorus]
Am Em
Would you hold my face gently
D#m G#m
as you dry both of my eyes.
Em Bmaj7
And kindly whisper the words
F# C# C#m
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 5]
F# F#maj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
Bmaj7 Bm
would you show me your own
E C#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
G#7 F#7 F#m7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Outro]
E C#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
G#7 F#7 F#m7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
