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
