G                       C  
Love endures, it clings away 

G                               C
When asked to leave, it begs to stay

G                                   C
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times

G                                        C

And she dreams of sunflowers bent over

C
Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado

G
Then plays her life back in slow-motion

C
To keep in touch with that raw emotion

G
In the night, crushed empty can

C
Olive Oyl's waiting for her man

G
To come in from the fight that will change their life

C
For good this time

When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by, 

                       G   C
Let your troubles roll by

G
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway

C
but tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day,

G
Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams

C
An undone war still wages and stings

G
You fear the year will blow like a breeze through a

C
Rainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a 

G                                   C
Hold, so you sit and cry and wonder why, why?

                       G   C
Let your troubles roll by

G
So many cities and windows and lives and

C
Through each one there's a soul that strives to survive

G
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine

C
The day is alive and that's why I cry

G
It's the New Year's Toast grab your list to conspire,

C
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire

G
You've come far and though you're far from the end

C
You don't mind where you are cause you know where you've been

G
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor

C
Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore

G
With nothing of note but the old captain's coat

C
And a burning boat you sank with your salty

G                                 C
Tears dry, let your troubles roll by

                 G                                 C
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
