If Tears Could Talk

Key of D

[Intro]
D A D


[Verse 1]
D                                  G       D
I've watched you hide the pain too many times
D                                  G       D
Much too often you don't say what's in your heart
           D                               G              Em
But you don't have to say it's over, I can see it in your eyes
           D                          A       D
'Cause if tears could talk, you just said goodbye


[Verse 2]
D                                  G          D
Without a word, you took our picture from the wall
D                                  G       D
And your dresses from the closet down the hall
         D                               G              Em
When I tried to talk it over, you just turned away and cried
         D                          A       D
But if tears could talk, you just said goodbye


[Chorus]
G                                        D
And if mirrors spoke they'd tell me I'm a fool
Em                                A
For never loving you the way I wanted to
G                                    D                   G
And if silence says it all I guess it means our love has died
          D                          A       D
And if tears could talk, you just said goodbye


[Break]  
D G D D G D D G Em D A D


[Chorus]
G                                        D
And if mirrors spoke they'd tell me I'm a fool
Em                                A
For never loving you the way I wanted to
G                                    D                   G
And if silence says it all I guess it means our love has died
          D                          A       D     G
And if tears could talk, you just said goodbye
          D                          A       D
Oh if tears could talk, you just said goodbye
