Two Teardrops Chords by Steve Wariner

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
Two teardrops _ _ _ _ _ _ were floating down the river, one teardrop said to [G] the other,
I'm [C] from the soft blue [Bb] eyes of a woman [F] in love. _ _ _ _
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry, she was so happy she just got married.
[G] I was [C] on her cheek [Bb] when she wiped me away with [F] her glove,
_ _ _ _ I [G] could tell from the look on [F] her face she didn't [Bb] need me.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Gm] So I drifted [F] on down and [Bb] caught me right to [C] the sea.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] The other tear said we've got a connection, I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection. _
[Gm] I'm from the [C] sad brown eyes of her [F] old flame. _ _ _ _ _
She told him they would be lifelong [C] companions, [F] left him with questions and not any answers.
[Gm] I was [Bb] on his cheek as he stood there [G] calling [F] her name. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] I could tell he had a lot of [F] my friends for [Bb] company. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] So I drifted [F] on down [Bb] and caught me [G] right to [C] the sea. _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] Oh the ocean's a little [Am] bit bigger tonight, _
[Bb] two more [F] teardrops somebody cried,
[Dm] one of them happy [Am] and one of them bluer [Bb] than blue.
_ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] The tide goes out and [Am] the tide comes in, [Bb] and someday there'll [F] be teardrops [C] again,
[Dm] released in a moment [Am] of pleasure or a moment [Bb] of pain.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
[Gm] Then they drift [F] on down and [C] right to the sea [F] again. _ _ _ _ _ _
Two _ [F] Teardrops _ _
Last night I sat in the waiting room, the nurse walked in and gave me the news,
[G] it's [D] a baby [C] girl and they're [F] both fine.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] An old man sitting not ten feet away just lost his wife and he said to me, _
[G] you've got a brand new angel and I've [F] lost mine.
_ _ _ I [Gm] guess the good Lord giveth [F] and the good Lord taketh [Bb] away, _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] and we [F] both wiped a [Bb] _ [G] teardrop from [C] our face.
[G] _ _ _ _
[Dm] Oh the ocean's a little [Am] bit bigger tonight, [Bb] two more [F] teardrops somebody cried,
[Dm] one of them happy and [Am] one of them bluer [Bb] than blue.
_ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] The tide goes out and the [Am] tide comes in, [Bb] a whole new circle [F] of life [C] begins,
[Dm] where tears are a part [Am] of the pleasure and part [Bb] of the _ pain.
_ _ [F] _
[Gm] Till they drift [F] on down [C] and right to the sea [F] _ again. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] Two Teardrops floating [F] down the river.
Two _ _ Teardrops _ _ _ _ _ floating down the river. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
