     D                   G               D 
I've learned to hide. my bleed within my heart 
                                       A 
And to conceal the thing that hurts me so 
    D                    G          D 
For every time. somebody calls your name 
          A                            D 
I cry for you but still my tears don't show 

                      G                   D 
For my heart is big.. enough to hold many tears 
                                                        A 
'Long with all them memories I'll treasure through the years 
      D          G                       D 
Sweet memories.. that make the teardrops flow 
           A                          D 
Although I cry for you my tears don't show .. 

                G                  D 
Memories ..that make the teardrops flow 
           A                           D 
Although I cry for you, my tears don't show
