 D 
 You're down all the way down 
 C 
 Can't shake the feeling 
 D 
 You've tried 
 You learned how to hide 
 C 
 You've got your reasons 
 E 
 I bet 
 You're full of regret 
 D 
 Sweet and bitter 
 Please consider 
 
 G 
 Sore eyes 
                      B7 
 What's up with that face 
               Em 
 Think we can trace these lines 
 A 
 Back to fine 
 Am 
 I'm sure 
 You've been here before 
 G 
 Sore eyes 
                  B7 
 Such a sight to see 
           Em 
 If I can bring that light 
 A                     Am 
 Back to your eyes to stay 
                 D 
 What would you say 
 Instead of walking away 
 
 D 
 No sign 
 of roses or wine 
 C 
 But you've got my attention 
 D 
 No lines 
 All out of rhymes 
 C 
 I just wanna hold you 
 E 
 I bet 
 I'll make you forget 
 D 
 Loves not bitter 
 Reconsider 
 
 G 
 Sore eyes 
                      B7 
 What's up with that face 
               Em 
 Think we can trace these lines 
 A 
 Back to fine 
 Am 
 I'm sure 
 You've been here before 
 G 
 Sore eyes 
                  B7 
 Such a sight to see 
           Em 
 If I can bring that light 
 A                     Am 
 Back to your eyes to stay 
                 D 
 What would you say
 
 
B7 
 Wipe away those sore eyes 
B7                              C 
 Wipe away those sore eyes to cry 
                      G 
 You don't have to cry
