*from 'Sunshine on Leith' (1988)*
 
 
 
 
Verse 1:
 
G           C                 G
 Teardrops, running down your face,
G          C                  G
 Teardrops, running down your face.
D                       G              D
 Diamonds, of water and salt from your body,
D               D7
 Coming down to meet my kisses.
 
Verse 2:
 
G          C                  G
 Teardrops, running down your face,
G          C                  G
 Teardrops, running down your face.
D                           G           D
 Staining, your skin and my skin and be-ginning,
    D                D7
The stories that you can't begin.
    D                Dsus2
The way I feel could be despised,
    Dsus4         D/F#
But it's a vision that I prize.
 
Chorus 1:
 
G    Gsus4      Cm   G
 Teardrops,     tear-drops.
    Cm                          G
I'm not trying to make you feel pain,
   D                     G
Or joy to make the tears flow.
    Cm                 G            D          D7
But when they roll una-shamed; they move me so.
 
Bridge 1:
 
G              C           G
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha wha,
G              C           G
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha wha.
Cm        G
 Wha wha, wha wha wha, wha wha wha,
Cm        D7
 Wha wha, wha wha wha, wha wha.
 
Verse 3:
 
G          C                  G
 Teardrops, running down your face,
G          C                  G
 Teardrops, running down your face.
D7                    G            D
 Let me, let me brush them with my fingers;
D                D7
 Comfort you and say it's alright.
D
 It's so strong, this way I feel,
     D               D/F#
Some-times I want to beg or steal you.
 
Chorus 2:
 
G    Gsus4     Cm   G
 Teardrops,    tear-drops.
    Cm                          G
I'm not trying to make you feel pain,
   D                     G
Or joy to make the tears flow.
    Cm                 G            D          D7
But when they roll una-shamed; they move me so.
 
 
 
G                   C                  G
 Teardrops, they're running down your face,
G                   C                 G
 Teardrops, they're running down your face.
D                       G              D
 Diamonds, of water and salt from your body,
D               D7
 Coming down to meet my kisses.
