verse 1 

 C                   G 
How will I start, tomorrow without you here 
 Am                              F                 G 
Whose heart will guide me, when all the answers disappear 
 C                   G 
Is it too late, are you too far gone to stay 
 Am                  F                 G 
This ones forever, should never had to go away 

Pre-Chorus 1 

 Am                  C                G 
What will I do, you know, I'm only halfway there to you 
 Am      C            G 
How will I, make it through 


F         C           G         Am     F 
If only tears could bring you, back to me 
F        C           F     G 
If only love could find a way 
F            C        G        Am      F 
What I would do, what I would give if you 
G           Em    C        G        F 
Returned to me someday, somehow, someway 
F       C           G        Am      C 
If my tears could bring you back, to me 

verse 2 

     C                     G 
I'd cry you an ocean, if you'd sail on home again 
 Am                      F            G 
Wings of emotion, will carry you, I know they can 
 C                          G                   F          G 
Just light will guide you, and your heart will chart the course 
 C                        G                F         G 
Soon you'll be drifting, into the arms of your true north 

Pre-Chorus 2 

 Am                       C               G             F 
Look in my eyes, and you see, a million tears have gone by 
     Am                G      F 
And still they're not dry 



F         C           G         Am     F 
If only tears could bring you, back to me 
F        C           F     G 
If only love could find a way 
F            C        G        Am      F 
What I would do, what I would give if you 
G           Em    C        G        F 
Returned to me someday, somehow, someway 
F       C           G        Am      C 
If my tears could bring you back, to me 

Bridge 

             G          C        G        Em      C       F 
I hold you close, and shout the words, I only whispered before 
 F             C      C             G 
For one more chance, for one last dance 
  C              G        F        G        D 
There's nothing that, I would not give and more 
 

F         C           G         Am     F 
If only tears could bring you, back to me 
F        C           F     G 
If only love could find a way 
F            C        G        Am      F 
What I would do, what I would give if you 
G           Em    C        G        F 
Returned to me someday, somehow, someway 
F       C           G        Am      C 
If my tears could bring you back, to me
