TRACKS OF MY TEARS
intro riff x 2 (notes:A-F#-D-F#-A-Ab; A-F#-D-C#-B-a)
Verse 1:
People say I'm the life of the party
A D (d-C#-B-A walk down lick)
Cause I tell a joke or two
All though I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
Chorus:
So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
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
My smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you
repeat Chorus
