Capo 1 
 
                  E5                     A5                E5 
Sometime I lie in bed when the night is still and wonder why 
            C#5                   A5                     E5 
Livin? everyday in a world of bad news and I just don?t cry 
    A5                  E5          A5                       E5 
Oh, not when the war began, mmmm , not when the fairy tale ends 
             A5                       E5  
Just say you love me and I know it?s true 
A5      E5              B5           E5   
Ooooh, that?s when my tears break through 
 
Seems like everyday there?s a heavy load waitin? at my feet 

I just pick it up till my back is bowed and head up the street 

I don?t cry when the dam comes down, yeah, we watch it with this whole damn town 

You offer a hand that I can hold onto 

Ooooh that?s when my tears break through 
 
Bridge: 
  A5       B5        E5 
I feel no pain and sorrow 
                  A5               B5  E5  
When you leave me standing on the avenue 
             E5                 B5      E5  
But when you tell me you?ll be back tomorrow 
A5     E5              B5           C#5 
Ohhhh that?s when my tears break through 
A5    E5              B5           E5 
Yeah that?s when my tears break through 
 
 
Now I can walk around in this dirty old town all alone 
No matter what I see staring back at me, my eyes are dry as a bone 
Wretched and lost, reaching up to me, Like I could rescue them from misery 
But when you look at me the way you do 
Ooooh, that?s when my tears break through 
Yeah, that?s when my tears break through 
Ohhh, that?s when my tears break through
