Am
[Verse 1]
Am
  Lonely teardrops, you've been crying, I hear them fall
In the night the empty night, I hear your song
F                                            G
 It goes right through me, it used to move me, lonely, lonely
Am
  Lonely Paris, met a dancer, we did the stroll
Through the night the empty night, four years ago
F                                        G               Eb
 I thought you know me, she gave it to me, lonely, lonely
[Chorus]
Bb                    Dm
  I seem to see a rose, I reach out then it goes
Bb                         Dm
  Now in its thorns, I roam, the sky is grey and I am cold
Bb                                  C                            Dm
Lord, I tell you, Lord, I tell you, all I want to do is get back home
[Verse 2]
Am
  Lonely teardrops, we did shoot them, they came on strong
Vials of rain to kill the pain, so far from home
F                                       G               Eb
 I thought you knew me, you did it to me, lonely, lonely
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Am
  Lonely teardrops, I've been cryin', all week long
Love is willing, but the bed is cold, goodbye, Laurence
F                                           G               Eb
 I thought I knew you, what good did that do, lonely, lonely
[Chorus]
Bb                    Dm
  I seem to see a rose, I reach out then it goes
Bb                         Dm
  Now in its thorns, I roam, you never know until you know
Bb                                C                            Dm
Lord, I ask you, Lord, I beg you, all I want to do is get back home
[Outro]
       Am
Lonely teardrops, lonely teardrops
Lonely teardrops, lonely teardrops
       Am
Lonely teardrops, lonely teardrops
