TEARS THEIR TOLL CAN TAKE - Bernard Bolan

Db  [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm    [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
I   can't say    that   I don't love you today,
Ab                          Db
Even though, better it were so.
    Db  [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm    [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
And I   can't say    that   I don't want you to stay,
Ab                                      Db
Even though, well I know, best you go away.


Db  [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm    [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
Is  it    you,   or     just the number of years,
Ab                     Db
Thus makes my heart to break.
Db  [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm    [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
Is  it    sad,   or     just a number of tears?
Ab                                              Db
Who can know, but even so, tears their toll can take.

Songs may say regret rien.
Eb                     Ab
Ah mais, je regret beaucoup,
    Gb
Too many times, too many days,
                   Ab
Too full of me and you.


Db    [ch]Db/C[/ch]     Bbm    [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]     Gb
Would though I could  know that time would deaden the pain,
Ab                                Db
For wise men surmise that this is so.
         Db   [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm  [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
And if I knew why   blue sky    turned one day into grey,
Ab                                              Db
Easier then, to touch your hand, turn and walk away.


Db  [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm    [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
Is  it    you,   or     just the number of years,
Ab                     Db
Thus makes my heart to break.
    Db  [ch]Db/C[/ch]  Bbm  [ch]Db/Ab[/ch]  Gb
And is  it    sad, or     just a number of tears,
Ab                                              Db
Who can know, but even so, tears their toll can take.
