BbTeardrops flowin’ down on mCe, like rivers in my Dm9sleepBb  
BbAnd in my dream of laughter, yoCu came creepin’ with youDm9r fearsBb

DmThat’s a strange wCay to tell me yoBbu love meC  
DmWhen your sorrow is Call I can seeBb  C  
DmIf you just want to Ccry to somebodBby,       Cdon’t cry to Bbme, no
BbDon’t cry to me,       C   Dm9noBb  
BbDidn’t I hear your Cvoice this morniDm9ng, didn’t yoBbu call my name
BbI heard you whCisper softly, but the Dm9words were never Bbplain
BbAnd in your dream oCf darkness, I came Dm9shinin’ like the Bbsun
BbWaiting for the lCaughter, but the Dm9laughter nevBber comes
CHORUS
BbDidn’t you feel aClone this mornDm9ing, didn’t you need Bba friend
BbAnd in your darkCest hour, you came Dm9runnin’ back aBbgain
CHORUS
FLUTE SOLO
REFRAIN CHORUS
(Note: Ordinarily, only the top four strings are played throughout the song. The 
5th and 6th strings, A and E, are not played and left silent. And, in all chord 
forms throughout the song, the D string is played, but not fretted, leaving the 
open D string to pedal throughout the song. On the Bb for example, the first 
finger is placed on the first fret of the high E string, the little finger on the 
third fret of the B string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the G 
string. The D is left open. For the C chord that follows, just move the entire 
chord form up two frets, which should leave the index finger on the third fret. 
The Dm9 is played like an Am, but the middle finger is lifted to leave an open G.)

Teardrops flowin’ down on me, like rivers in my sleep

Bb C Dm9 Bb

And in my dream of laughter, you came creepin’ with your fears

Bb C Dm9 Bb

Telling me your sorrows, in the tracings of your tears

Dm C Bb C

That’s a strange way to tell me you love me

Dm C Bb C

When your sorrow is all I can see

Dm C Bb C Bb

If you just want to cry to somebody, don’t cry to me, no

Bb C Dm9 Bb

Don’t cry to me, no

Didn’t I hear your voice this morning, didn’t you call my name

Bb C Dm9 Bb

I heard you whisper softly, but the words were never plain

Bb C Dm9 Bb

And in your dream of darkness, I came shinin’ like the sun

Bb C Dm9 Bb

Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never comes

CHORUS

Bb C Dm9 Bb

Didn’t you feel alone this morning, didn’t you need a friend

Bb C Dm9 Bb

And in your darkest hour, you came runnin’ back again
