YOU MADE THIS LOVE A TEARDROP (Nanci Griffith)
———————————————-

[intro]
C F G
What have you got to say for yourself, now baby
G/E — G/D C F G
Now that I am leaving you, what have you got to lose
G C F G
The truth you tried to keep from me, well it nearly drove me crazy
G/E — G/D C F G G/E — G/D
I have grown weary of sleepless nights with you
E/B E/B Am Am/G
Is that a broken heart in the corner of your eye

Something to remind me
C F G
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall
G/E — G/D C F G
There are those who can’t love right, I just can’t love wrong
G/E — G/D C F G
When you’re lonely in the night, how I hope you will recall
G/E — G/D C F G G/E G/F G/F
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall
Though I will not forgive you for betraying the trust between us
Though I will always care for you, I’ve loved you half my life
And when I give my heart again, I know that I’ll remember
Love is but a fragile flame, and trust just fuels the fire
When I think of all the years your love has taken from me
I can’t believe I’m leaving you

You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall
You made this love a teardrop waiting to fall
