Bb F C F 

Verse 
F                                C  
The closest friend I ever had I lost today 
                                         F 
They all claim the bottle took his life away 
                                            Bb 
But they're wrong for drinkin' played the smallest part 
            F             C                 F 
It was too many teardrops    from a broken heart 

            C                           F  
Oh how he loved her... but I loved her too 
            C                       F 
And what I did, any other man might do 
                                Bb 
But after losing her, the end begins to start 
          F              C                 F   
With too many teardrops,    from a broken heart 

Instrumental 
C F D G (Change Keys to G) 

G                                             D 
She never really loved him, he just couldn't see 
                                          G 
And drinking was his way, to kill her memory 
                                         C 
But he wasn't strong enough to play the loser's part 
         G              D                 G 
Cry too many teardrops,   from a broken heart 

                D                           G 
And oh how he loved her... but I loved her too 
            D                       G 
And what I did, any other man might do 
                                C 
But after losing her, the end begins to start 
          G              D                 G 
With too many teardrops,    from a broken heart
