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
