Everything but the Girl — Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your Shining Heart
Sorrow is a lonely road
CBmAm
Where the rain like your tears
DCG
Beats heavy on the roof on the roof above your head
G
Tomorrow is a lovers' town
CBmAm
That has been beaten down
DCG
And the hand of winter holds the life we've led
CAm7DCEm
Instead of drowning in despair
CD
For I find small comfort in a bottle
GEm
When we're apart
CDGEm
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
CDG
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart.
G
I used to drive all night for you
CBmAm
While the children were asleep
D
As the dawn broke on your room
CG
Back into my house I'd creep
G
Where my husband slept alone
CBmAm
Of course he must have known
D
But we always hide the truth
CG
For fear of losing what we own
CAm7
Don't forget the words we choose
DCEm
And constantly misuse
CDGEm
They were written down each time we were apart
CDGEm
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
CDG
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart.
