Autumn Tears
[B] [G]
[Em]
[C] [Am]
[A] [G]
[C]
[G] [Em]
[C] [Am]
[F] Brother, tears [G] that I've cried [Am] at night
If he [Em] doesn't come [C] back soon
[Am] The streets will never be dry
If [Em] he doesn't come [C] back
The road [Am] sweeper will never clear away [G] my tears
And I know I just won't [Em] sleep tonight
I'll watch [C] the rain and hear [Am] the wind
Blowing all my tears [G] down to the street
[Am] Mmm, [Em] if he doesn't come [C] back soon
[Am] The streets will never be dry
[Em] If he doesn't come [C] back
The road [Am] sweeper will never clear away [D] my [Em]
tears
And I know I just won't sleep tonight
I'll [C] watch the rain and [Am] hear the wind
[Dm] Blowing all [C] my tears down [G] to the street
[Am] Mmm, [G] to the street
[Am] Mmm, to [Em] the street
If [Dm] in winter
If in winter he [Em] should change [G] and [Dm] leave me
I'd let him go [G]
[C] and learn [A] to do without him
Oh, [B] I'd have a [G] hundred lovers and my [C] heart [G] would not be [D] broken
And all the [Em] lies he'd spoken
[G] I'd whisper to [Dm] the others
Oh, it's winter [G] now [C] and he has changed [Dm] and left me
I'd let him [Em] go and now I am [A] without him
[B] I don't want a [G] hundred lovers and my heart it is so [D] broken
And all the lies [G] he'd [C]
spoken
I'd [Em] whisper to [Dm] myself
How
[Ab]
do I know?
[C]
How do [Em] I know that [Am] those [Em] mountains aren't cardboard?
[F] [C] How do I know [Dm] that the world is [Em] round?
Why should I know just [Am] because [Em] you've taught [F] me
[C] Molten rock [Dm] underneath [G] my [C] ground
[G] How do I know [Am] there's a god [Em] in the sky
[F] [C] Looking down [Dm] and hearing [G] me
[C] Why [Em] should you say I [Am] can't love [Em] any man
[F] Have [C] his children [Dm] and still be [Em] free
Go [Am] on voting, [F] striking [G] and [C] fighting
Go [Am] on searching, [G] hiding and loving
[C] I [G] can't change [Am] you, can't [Em] even try
[F] But let [C] me live [G] like [Dm] I think [G] I [C] can
[G] Then when it's time for me [Am] to [Em] say goodbye
[F] I'll [C] have lived [F] just a part [Em] of man
Go [Am] on [F] voting, [Em] striking and fighting
Go [Am] on searching, [G] hiding and loving
[C] I [Em] can't change [Am] you, [Em] can't even try
[F] But let [C] me live [Dm] like I think I [G] [Em] can
Then when it's time for [Am] me to [Em] simply die
[Fm] [C] I'll have lived [Dm] just a [G] part [C] of man
[G] [Am] [Em] This [F]
[G] [Em]
is called I Know
Don't tell me you're going away, I know
And don't say what you're going to say, [G] I know
Don't expect me to cry, don't even say goodbye
And don't say [Em] lies like that, you know, I know
And don't tell me I'm just a kid, I know
And how you loved the things we did, I know
Don't say that it's a shame, and that life's just a game
Just pack your case and [G] turn your face [C] and go
[Am]
Cause I am not the [Em] same when you're not with me
Take away the time and I will flow
And don't tell me that flowers must die, I know
And that the cup runs dry sometimes, I know
But [F] I have [Em] drunk my fill, and quite fulfilled my will
And now there's nothing left to spill, for sure
[Am] Oh darling, I'm not the same without [F] you
You just light the fuse and I will blow
All you [Em] have to do, my love, [C] is go
[Ab] [D]
