Intro:

     (x2),     , 

Verse 1:

                            
 Teardrops, running down your face,
                            
 Teardrops, running down your face.
                                   
 Diamonds, of water and salt from your body,

 Coming down to meet my kisses.

Verse 2:

                            
 Teardrops, running down your face,
                            
 Teardrops, running down your face.
                                    
 Staining, your skin and my skin and be-ginning,
    
The stories that you can't begin.
    
The way I feel could be despised,
    
But it's a vision that I prize.

Chorus 1:

              
 Teardrops, tear-drops.
                               
I'm not trying to make you feel pain,
                       
Or joy to make the tears flow.
                                           
But when they roll una-shamed; they move me so.

Bridge 1:

                         
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha wha,
                          
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha wha.
            
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha, wha wha wha,
           
 Wha wha wha, wha wha, wha wha wha.

Verse 3:

                            
 Teardrops, running down your face,
                            
 Teardrops, running down your face.
                               
 Let me, let me brush them with my fingers;
                
 Comfort you and say it's alright.
                     
 It's so strong, this way I feel,
                    
Some-times I want to beg or steal you.

Chorus 2:

              
 Teardrops, tear-drops.
                               
I'm not trying to make you feel pain,
                       
Or joy to make the tears flow.
                                           
But when they roll una-shamed; they move me so.

Coda:

                         
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha wha,
                          
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha wha.
            
 Wha, wha wha, wha wha wha, wha wha wha,
           
 Wha wha wha, wha wha, wha wha wha.
