Verse
E Emaj7
If I showed you my teardrops
Amaj7 Am
would you collect them like rain.
D Bm
Would you store them in jars
F#7 E7 Em7
that are labelled with „pain“.
[Verse 2]
E Emaj7
Would you follow their tracks
Amaj7 Am
from my eyes down my cheeks
D Bm
As they write all the stories
F#7 E7 Em7
I´m so frightened to speak.
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
Would you hold my face gently
C#m F#m
as you dry both of my eyes.
Dm Amaj7
And kindly whisper the words
E B Bm
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 3]
E Emaj7
Would you stop them with kisses
Amaj7 Am
bring there flow to a halt.
D Bm
As you teach me that pain
F#7 E7 Em7
couldn´t always be my fault.
[Verse 4]
E Emaj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
Amaj7 Am
would you show me your own
D Bm
And learn though we´re lonely,
F#7 E7 Em7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Chorus]
Gm Dm
Would you hold my face gently
C#m F#m
as you dry both of my eyes.
Dm Amaj7
And kindly whisper the words
E B Bm
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 5]
E Emaj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
Amaj7 Am
would you show me your own
D Bm
And learn though we´re lonely,
F#7 E7 Em7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Outro]
D Bm
And learn though we´re lonely,
F#7 E7 Em7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
