TRACKS OF MY TEARS

intro riff x 2 (notes:a-f#-d-f#-a-g#; a-f#-d-c#-b-a)

Verse 1:

a      d          Bm           E

People say I'm the life of the party

a             d        (d-c#-b-a walk down lick)

Cause I tell a joke or two

             a        d      Bm    E                                        

All though I might be laughing loud and hearty

a    d         Bm    E

Deep inside I'm blue

Chorus:

          a     d        Bm    E

So take a good look at my face

            a     d          Bm    E

You know my smile looks out of place

            a           d      Bm     

If you look closer it's easy to trace

E            a  d    Bm    E

The tracks of my tears

             d-a                 d-a         

Oh, I need you  (need you) need you  (need you)



Verse 2:

Since you left me if you see me with another guy

lookin' like I'm havin' fun

Although he might be cute, he's just a substitute

because...you're the permanent one

Bridge:

         d-a              d-a

(Out-side) I'm masqueradin'

        d-a                 d-a

(In-side) My heart's a-fadin'

                 d-a             d-a

(I'm just a clown) since you put me down

F#m                                             E

My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you



repeat Chorus
