Tear Stained Eye

A

[Verse 1]
A                                   D
Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to know the concrete
             E                   A
Lookin for a purpose from a neon sign.
A                                 D
I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air
             E                   A
I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind.

[Chorus]
A                                  Bm
Well can you deny, there's nothin' greater
        D                            A
Nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
A                               Bm
St. Genevieve can hold back the water
                 E                          A    Bm  A
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

[Verse 2]
A                    D
Seein' traces of the stars that came before
               E                          A
Written in the pavement, still askin' for more
A                                Bm       D
When the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs
             E                            A
To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame.

[Chorus]
A                                 Bm
But can you deny, there's nothin' greater
        D                            A
Nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
A                               Bm
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
                 E                          A
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

[Instrumental]
A  Bm  D  A  A  Bm  E  A

A                     D
Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet
               E                      A
Throw away the bad news and put it to rest
A                             D
If learnin is livin', and the truth is a state of mind
            E                             A
You'll find it's better at the end of the line.

[Chorus]
A                                 Bm
But can you deny, there's nothin' greater
        D                            A
Nothin' more than travelin' hands of time
A                               Bm
St. Genevieve can hold back the water,
                 E                          A
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye
