Intro and Riff 1: G A7sus4 Cadd9 (see performance notes)
G Em7 Cadd9 G Riff 1
Is this a place I can rest my poor head,
G Em7 Cadd9 G Riff 1To gather my thoughts in sweet si......lence?
Is this a place where the feelings aren't dead,
G Em7 Dsus2From an overexposure to violence?
Dsus4/A G5/B Cadd9 G5/BAnd is this a place I can slowly face
The only one I truly can know?
These are tears from a long time ago,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 GI've got these tears from a long time ago,
Cadd9 G D Dsus4 D Em7and I need to cry thirty years or so.
These are tears from a long time ago.
G Em7 Cadd9 G Riff 1
"Oh, Darling, Oh, darling" you say unto me,
G Em7 Cadd9 G Riff 1"Oh, Where have you been all my life...time?"
Well, I have been swimmin' the seven sad seas,
G Em7 Dsus2Fair women have thrown me their lifelines,
Dsus4/A G5/B Cadd9 G5/BAnd I just pulled them in to the water's dark grin,
I'd have warned 'em but I didn't know.
These are tears from a long time ago,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 GI've got these tears from a long time ago,
Cadd9 G D Dsus4 D Em7and I need to cry thirty years or so.
These are tears from a long time ago.

Well, I've cried me a river, I've cried me a lake,
G Em7 Cadd9 G Riff 1Hell, I cried 'til the past nearly drowned me.
Tears for sad consequence, tears for mistakes,
G Em7 Dsus2But never these tears that surround me.
Dsus4/A G5/B Cadd9 G5/BAlone in this place with a lifetime to trace,
And a heartbeat that tells me it's so.
Oh, and I've got these tears from a long time ago,
