------------------------------------------------------

Intro: F, Dm, Am, Cadd9 x4


F                 G        Am   Cadd9
See the tears run down her face
F              Em    F     G
Unhappy in her happy place
Am               G       C    Cadd9
And what it is I think I know
      F              C       G
She’s trying hard to let him go

She goes

F                     Dm
These tears are all I have
              Am
They’re all I have
         Cadd9
To remind me
            F               Dm
These sweet tears are all I have
              Am   Cadd9
They’re all I have


F                     Dm
These tears are all I have
              Am
They’re all I have
         Cadd9
To remind me
            F               Dm
These sweet tears are all I have
              Am   G
They’re all I have

F              G      Am  Cadd9
Falling gently they begin
F              Em     F    G
Soft and salty on her skin
Am                    G           C      Cadd9
She keeps them coming through the night*
F               C       G
If only I could make it right

F                          G        Am   Cadd9
But she doesn’t want these tears to stop
F               C               F   G
She’d rather he were there than not
Am                  G  C    Cadd9
And they can be his epitaph**
F                 C         G
And if she didn’t cry she’d laugh

She’d laugh

Instr: F, Dm, Am, Cadd9 x4

F                     Dm
These tears are all I have
              Am
They’re all I have
         C
To remind me
            F               Dm
These sweet tears are all I have
              Am   Cadd9
They’re all I have
