[ riff 1 ]

all of the seasons and all of the days
all of the reasons why i felt this way

[ riff 1 ]

then lost in that feeling , i looked in your eyes
i noticed emotion and that you had cried

[ riff 2 ]

for me , i can see .

Dm CaddD C G A Asus4 A
what would touch me deep – – er? tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm CaddD C G A *
would it touch you deep – – – er than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

[ riff 1 ] x2
[ riff 2 ]
[ riff 1 ] x2

a lifetime of questions , tears on your cheek
i tasted the answers and my body was weak

[ riff 2 ]

for you , the truth .

Dm CaddD C G A Asus4 A
what would touch me deep – – er? tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm CaddD C G A *
would it touch you deep – – – er than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
