Blue Rodeo – Mascara Tears (Guitar)

          C   Em   F        C
I thought love was the greatest gift

     F       C        G
That I could give to you

           C  Em           F      C
But I found out you like a darker tune

           F               G      F
There was nothing I could do to save you

          C  Em          F             C
‘Cuz it’s a curse, your sympathy and fate

    F          C             G
You never hesitate to forgive

         C  Em           F           C
But this world, it just takes and takes

        F                      G
There’s only so much you can bear

        F
Before you break

     C
I adore you

F                  C
how you break the rules

F                   C               G
all the things you do to keep it true

  C
I adore you

           F          C
With your paralyzing fears

      F       C
Your mascara tears

       G       F
Why so hard on yourself

Am              Em
Now the sun is setting

F                    C
And I must face the night

Am                   Em
‘Cuz now I know the darkness

F         C
That you embrace

Am                    Em
Everything that ever happened

Am              Em
Doesn’t matter anymore

F                    C
Doesn’t matter where you’re going

G
It just matters who you are

       C  Em             F               C
No one told you but you like that disconnect

    F                   C
Not knowing what comes next

G
Or what could have been

          C           Em
So we’ll raise this glass

          F               C
We won’t talk about the why

          F               C
We don’t have to say goodbye

           G               F
We’ll just say until the next time

   C
I adore you

F                   C
how you break the rules

F                   C              G
all the things you do to keep it true

  C
I adore you

          F           C
With your paralyzing fears

      F       C
Your mascara tears

      G        F
Why so hard on yourself
