Two Teardrops — Steve Wariner
Chords and lyrics for Two Teardrops by Steve Wariner (key of D).
Verse 1
[D]Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
[D]One teardrop said to the other
[Em]I'm from the soft blue eyes of a [A]woman in love[D]
[D]I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
[D]She was so happy she just got married
[Em]I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with [G]her glove
[D]
I [Em]could tell from the look on her face she didn't [F#m]need me
[G]
So I drifted on [Em]down and [F#m]caught me a[G] ride to the sea
[A]
[D]The other tear said we've got a connection
[D]I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
[Em]I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old[A] flame[D]
[D]She told him they would be lifelong companions
[D]Left him with questions and not any answers
I [Em]was on his cheek as he stood there [G]calling her name
[D]
I [Em]could tell he had a lot of my friends for[G] company
[G]
So I [Em]drifted on down [F#m]and caught me a ride[G] to the sea
[A]
Bridge 1
[Bm]Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger [F#m]tonight
Two more[G] teardrops somebody cried[D]
One of [Bm]them happy and one of them bluer [F#m]than blue[G-]
[A]
[Bm]The tide goes out and the tide [F#m]comes in
And someday[G] they'll be teardrops again[D]
[Bm]Released in a moment of pleasure or a [F#m]moment of pain
[G]
Then they drift[Em] on down and[F#m] ride [G]to the sea [A]again[D]
[D]Last night I sat in the waiting room
[D]The nurse walked in and gave me the news
[Em]It's a baby girl and they're [A]both fine[D]
[D]An old man sittin' not 10 feet away
[D]Just lost his wife and he said to me
[Em]You've got a brand new angel and I've lost[G] mine[D]
I guess the good [Em]Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh[F#m] away
[G]
And we both wiped a[Em] teardrop [F#m]from our [G]face[A]
Bridge 2
[Bm]Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger [F#m]tonight
[G]Two more teardrops somebody cried[D]
[Bm]One of them happy and one of them bluer than [F#m]blue[G]
[A]
[Bm]The tide goes out and the tide comes in[F#m]
A whole new [G]circle of life begins[D]
[Bm]Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of [F#m]the pain
[G]
'Til they drift[Em] on down and[F#m] ride [G]to the sea [A]again[D]
[D]Two teardrops floatin' down the river
[D]Two teardrops floatin' down the river
