Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
D5
One teardrop said to the other
E5                                   A5                               D5                                 
I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
D5
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
D5                                                      
She was so happy she just got married
E5                                              G5                                       D5 
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove
  E5                                              F#5                                  G5          
I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me
                 E5          F#5    G5                                      A5 
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea


D5                                                                       
The other tear said we've got a connection
D5                                                                        
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
E5                                    A5                           D5               
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
D5                                                                              
She told him they would be lifelong companions
D5                                                                          
Left him with questions and not any answers
    E5                                   G5                                        D5
I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name
    E5                                     G5                               G5
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
     E5               F#5                G5                                 A5                
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea

Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
        G5                                       D5
Two more teardrops somebody cried
       B5                                  F#5                           G5 - A5
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
B5                                 F#5
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
           G5                               D5
And someday they'll be teardrops again
B5                                        F#5                                    G5
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain
               E5          F#5    G5            A5                 D5 
Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again

Last night I sat in the waiting room
D5
The nurse walked in and gave me the news
E5                             A5                   D5       
It's a baby girl and they're both fine
D5
An old man sittin' not 10 feet away
D5                                                         
Just lost his wife and he said to me
E5                                        G5                            D5           
You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine
                  E5                                 F#5                              G5        
I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away
                   E5          F#5    G5            A5  
And we both wiped a teardrop from our face

Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
G5                                             D5
Two more teardrops somebody cried
B5                                               F#5                     G5   A5       
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
B5                                       F#5
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
            G5                                D5                
A whole new circle of life begins
B5                                                  F#5                              G5
Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain
               E5          F#5    G5            A5                 D5
'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again

D5
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
