TRACKS OF MY TEARS

intro riff x 2 (notes:a-f#-d-f#-a-g#; a-f#-d-c#-b-a)

Verse 1:

a (x02210@1)    d (xx0231@1)        Bm (x24432@1)         E (022100@1)People say I'm the life of the party

a (x02210@1)           d (xx0231@1)      (d-c#-b-a walk down lick)

Cause I tell a joke or two

             a (x02210@1)      d (xx0231@1)    Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)                                      

All though I might be laughing loud and hearty

a (x02210@1)  d (xx0231@1)       Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)Deep inside I'm blue

Chorus:

          a (x02210@1)   d (xx0231@1)      Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)So take a good look at my face

            a (x02210@1)   d (xx0231@1)        Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)You know my smile looks out of place

            a (x02210@1)         d (xx0231@1)    Bm (x24432@1)   

If you look closer it's easy to trace

E (022100@1)          a (x02210@1)d (xx0231@1)  Bm (x24432@1)  E (022100@1)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 (244222@1)                                           E (022100@1)My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you



repeat Chorus
