(BbI'll keep countin' Gm7teardrops Ctil you're back Fagain.)

BbThey say a little Ftear can't hurt an Cawful lot.
But it'll Gm7break your heart when it's Ccaused by someone

FThings aren't right, my world is Cat an end.
And my Bbdreams have gone to pieces, seems I Fjust can't

BbCause my dreams were all built around Cdreams that'll never 
come Ftrue.
