Verse
D# D#maj7
If I showed you my teardrops
G#maj7 G#m
would you collect them like rain.
C# A#m
Would you store them in jars
F7 D#7 D#m7
that are labelled with „pain“.
[Verse 2]
D# D#maj7
Would you follow their tracks
G#maj7 G#m
from my eyes down my cheeks
C# A#m
As they write all the stories
F7 D#7 D#m7
I´m so frightened to speak.
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Would you hold my face gently
Cm Fm
as you dry both of my eyes.
C#m G#maj7
And kindly whisper the words
D# A# A#m
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 3]
D# D#maj7
Would you stop them with kisses
G#maj7 G#m
bring there flow to a halt.
C# A#m
As you teach me that pain
F7 D#7 D#m7
couldn´t always be my fault.
[Verse 4]
D# D#maj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
G#maj7 G#m
would you show me your own
C# A#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
F7 D#7 D#m7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Would you hold my face gently
Cm Fm
as you dry both of my eyes.
C#m G#maj7
And kindly whisper the words
D# A# A#m
„you´re much too precious to cry“.
[Verse 5]
D# D#maj7
If I showed you my teardrops.
G#maj7 G#m
would you show me your own
C# A#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
F7 D#7 D#m7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
[Outro]
C# A#m
And learn though we´re lonely,
F7 D#7 D#m7
we´ll never ever be left alone.
