Tear By Tear
Sister Hazel
Capo: 2nd
I couldn't find these chords for this song anywhere so I finally decided just to sit 
and figure them out.  I hope you enjoy, this is really a magnificent song, very powerful 
 Let me know how I did, and if you caught anything I didn't.  Thanks
Note: The F in the into is a grip chord, but the rest of the time it's a barre chord.  
the intro the F and C's get a little hammer-on/off to add styling.

Intro: , , , , , , 


                                   
 We all know sadness,  and I feel your pain
                                          
 Well everybody knows a little loneliness sometimes
                        
'Cause we're all the same


                               
 We all have sorrow, we all have shame
                                    
 Everybody feels a bit of emptiness sometimes
                              
Now what you gonna do about that


                                   
There's a way to keep going , step by step
                                     
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
                                          
While your life will keep coming, year after year
                      
 Drain the pain, tear by tear
                                  
 Drain away the pain, tear by tear


                    
 Take a look around you
                     
 Every face that you see
                                                 
 Well everybody gets a little paralyzed sometimes, the epidemic of our
         
insanity

                                   
There's a way to keep going , step by step
                                     
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick
                                          
While your life will keep coming, year after year
                      
 Drain the pain, tear by tear
                                  
 Drain away the pain, tear by tear


                                            
And the mother she waits, 'Cause her teenager's late
                                              
Till the knock on the door, he says ma'am I am so sorry
                                             
And soldiers come home, one leg less than they'd gone with
                                         
We all walk around like there's just nothing wrong with it


                                         
The doctor he cries 'cause his last patient died
                                     
Did I mention before he was a father of five
                                              
And the waitress is home, well she can't pay her loan
                                                     
She's lost everything – everything, she has no where to go
                                        
And the fat kid at school couldn't take anymore
                                          
All the taunts and the names and the ugliest words
                                                    
No one even stopped to notice, they went on with their day
                                       ~
Till he pulled out a gun and blew himself away


                                   
There's a way to keep going , step by step
                                     ~
Try to fix what's been broken, brick by brick

        
      

                        
You can drain all the pain~
