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