       Dm7
And we stare each other down

Like victims in the grind

Probing all the weakness and hurt

Still left behind
       Am
And we cry...
             C        G
The tears of pearls.
   Dm7
We do it. 

Oh we do it


   Dm7
Is love really the tragedy

The way you might describe,

Or would a thousand lovers

Still leave you cold inside?
         Am
Make you cry...
               C          G
These tears of pearls.


Bm              D
All these mixed emotions
        Em
We keep locked away
     G
Like stolen pearls.
Bm           D
Stolen pearl devotions
Em
We keep locked away
     G       A
From all the world.


     Dm7
Your kisses are like pearls

So different so rare

But anger stole the jewels away

And love has left you bare
         Am
Made you cry...
             C        G
The tears of pearls.


     Dm7
Well I could be the tired joker

Pour my heart to get you in

Sacrifice my happiness

Just so I could win
      Am
Maybe cry...
               C         G
These tears of pearls


Bm               D
All these mixed emotions
        Em
We keep locked away
     G
Like stolen pearls.
Bm           D
Stolen pearl devotions
Em
We keep locked away
     G       A
From all the world.


   Bm
We twist and turn where angels burn
     Em
Like fallen soldiers

We will learn
     Bm
That once forgotten, twice removed
Bm
Love will be the death...

The death of you
