Before The Last Teardrop Dries

Tom: G

G                                         C
Before the last teardrop dries before the day turns into night

           D7                               G
Before the closing of the door when I won’t see you anymore

                                       C
Before the dawn of the new day when we go our separate ways

          D7                                            G
It’s just time for one goodbye before the last teardrop dries


   D7                          G
We knew this day was coming we saw it long ago

   A7                               D7
We knew our love had ended like the melting of the snow

         G                       C
But it’s hard to finally say the cold hard facts of life

   D7                                                     G
To turn the page and start again when it cuts just like a knife


    D7                              G
You looked away the moment came and I began to cry

        A7                             D7
There’s not much else to do or say our love has simply died

           G                              C
Before the last teardrop dries before the day turns into night

           D7                               G
Before the closing of the door when I won’t see you anymore

                                       C
Before the dawn of the new day when we go our separate ways

          D7                                            G
It’s just time for one goodbye before the last teardrop dries


          D7                                            G
It’s just time for one goodbye before the last teardrop dries
