       Dm7 
And we stare each other down 
Like victims in the grind 
Probing all the weakness and hurt 
Still left behind 
       Am 
And we cry... 
             C        G 
The tears of pearls. 
   Dm7 
We do it.  
Oh we do it 
 
   Dm7 
Is love really the tragedy 
The way you might describe, 
Or would a thousand lovers 
Still leave you cold inside? 
         Am 
Make you cry... 
               C          G 
These tears of pearls. 
 
Bm              D 
All these mixed emotions 
        Em 
We keep locked away 
     G 
Like stolen pearls. 
Bm           D 
Stolen pearl devotions 
Em 
We keep locked away 
     G       A 
From all the world. 
 
     Dm7 
Your kisses are like pearls 
So different so rare 
But anger stole the jewels away 
And love has left you bare 
         Am 
Made you cry... 
             C        G 
The tears of pearls. 
 
     Dm7 
Well I could be the tired joker 
Pour my heart to get you in 
Sacrifice my happiness 
Just so I could win 
      Am 
Maybe cry... 
               C         G 
These tears of pearls 
 
Bm               D 
All these mixed emotions 
        Em 
We keep locked away 
     G 
Like stolen pearls. 
Bm           D 
Stolen pearl devotions 
Em 
We keep locked away 
     G       A 
From all the world. 
 
   Bm 
We twist and turn where angels burn 
     Em 
Like fallen soldiers 
We will learn 
     Bm 
That once forgotten, twice removed 
Bm 
Love will be the death... 
The death of you
