D
Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
D
One teardrop said to the other
Em A D
I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
D
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
D
She was so happy she just got married
Em G D
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove
Em F#m G
I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me
Em F#m G A
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
D
The other tear said we've got a connection
D
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
Em A D
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
D
She told him they would be lifelong companions
D
Left him with questions and not any answers
Em G D
I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name
Em G G
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
Em F#m G A
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea
Bridge 1
Bm F#m
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
G D
Two more teardrops somebody cried
Bm F#m G-A
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
Bm F#m
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
G D
And someday they'll be teardrops again
Bm F#m G
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain
Em F#m G A D
Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again
D
Last night I sat in the waiting room
D
The nurse walked in and gave me the news
Em A D
It's a baby girl and they're both fine
D
An old man sittin' not 10 feet away
D
Just lost his wife and he said to me
Em G D
You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine
Em F#m G
I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away
Em F#m G A
And we both wiped a teardrop from our face
Bridge 2
Bm F#m
Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
G D
Two more teardrops somebody cried
Bm F#m G A
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
Bm F#m
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
G D
A whole new circle of life begins
Bm F#m G
Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain
Em F#m G A D
'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again
D
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
D
Two teardrops floatin' down the river
