Capo 1
Sometime I lie in [E]bed when the night is [A]still and wonder [E]why
Livin every[C#m]day in a world of bad [A]news and I just dont [E]cry
Oh, [A]not when the war be[E]gan, mmmm, [A]not when the fairy tale [E]ends
Just say you [A]love me and I know its [E]true
[A]Ooooh, [E]thats when my [B]tears break [E]through
Seems like everyday theres a heavy load waitin at my feet
I just pick it up till my back is bowed and head up the street
I dont cry when the dam comes down, yeah, we watch it with this whole damn town
You offer a hand that I can hold onto
Ooooh thats when my tears break through
Bridge:
I [A]feel no [B]pain and [E]sorrow
When you leave me [A]standing on the [B]ave[E]nue
But when you [E]tell me youll be [B]back to[E]morrow
[A]Ohhhh [E]thats when my [B]tears break [C#m]through
[A]Yeah [E]thats when my [B]tears break [E]through
Now I can walk around in this dirty old town all alone
No matter what I see staring back at me, my eyes are dry as a bone
Wretched and lost, reaching up to me, Like I could rescue them from misery
But when you look at me the way you do
Ooooh, thats when my tears break through
Yeah, thats when my tears break through
Ohhh, thats when my tears break through
