              Intro Bbm  A  C# 
        Bbm  A  C# 
  
C# 
Lonesome tears 
B                      F# 
I can't cry them anymore 
  A                            C# 
I can't think of what they're for 
         B             Bbm F# 
Oh they ruin me every time 
          C# 
But I'll try 
B                     F# 
To leave behind some days 
A                       C# 
These tears just can't erase 
   B                      Bbm F# 
I don't need them anymore 
 
How could this love 
 
Ever turning 
A                     E 
Never turn its eye on me 
Bbm 
How could this love            
 
Ever changing 
A                       E 
Never change the way I feel 
 
( G#m  E  G#m  G  B ) 
 
      C# 
Lazy sun 
B                    F# 
Your eyes catch the light 
      A             C#     B 
With promises that might 
               Bbm 
Come true for awhile 
         C# 
Oh I'll ride 
B              F# 
Farther than I should 
A              C# 
Harder than I could 
B                 A#m     F#   G     B 
Just to meet you there 
 
How could this love 
 
Ever turning 
A                     E 
Never turn its eye on me 
Bbm 
How could this love 
 
Ever changing 
A                       E 
Never change the way I feel 
 
( G#m  E  G#m  G  B )
