--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | A A7 | Dmaj7 | D/E | A | | A A7 | Dmaj7 | D/E | A | [Verse]
A                    Esus4/C#             | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
When she was leaving, she didn't make much sense

A                    Esus4/C#             | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
She said before I go, just give me one last kiss

             Dm7       Dm6
I'd tried to tell her

              Amaj7           F#m7
That it would only add to the pain

                  Bm7          A/E E             | Amaj7 | F#m7 | Bm7 | D/E |
That's when those tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears started to rain
[Verse]
          A  Esus4/C#          | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
As I look back I see mistakes we made

      A            Esus4/C#               | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
But I never thought, that we would lose our way

           Dm7       Dm6
I tried to hold her

   Amaj7                   F#m7
I tried to persuade her to wait

                  Bm7          A/E E                  | Amaj7 | D/E A7 |
But those leavin' tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears are always too late
[Middle 8]
    Dmaj7           C#m7                 Bm7  | E7sus4 E |
I'd hate to try and count the tears that fall

Bm                     D              | E F#m | Gdim E/G# |
Maybe you should never count tears at all  (= LINK)

Bm7                    D/E
Something was lost and we never found it

   Bm7                D/E
No matter how hard we tried

       Bm7                   D/E
And it seems that there's no way to get around it

        Bm7   A/C# Dmaj7 | Esus4 | E9 |
When tears tell you good-bye
[Verse]
          Amaj7  Esus4/C#              | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
Tonight I saw her, I didn't know what to say

          Amaj7     Esus4/C#         | Dmaj7 | E7sus4 E |
I just tried to smile, but had to walk away

           Dm7          Dm6
I turned to tell her 'I love you'

            Amaj7          F#m7
But she had faded into the rain

                 Bm7          A/E E                  | Amaj7 | F#m9 |
Now those lonely tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears are all that remain

                 Bm7          A/E E                          | Amaj7 | F#m9 |
Now those lonely tea-ea-ea-ea-ea- ears ... are startin' over again
(break) [Coda]
Bm7        E7sus4
Lo-o-onely tears

Bm7  E    |  A  | A
Lo-o-onely tears
