Intro: 

 Bb                 Gm7       C               F 
(I'll keep countin' teardrops til you're back again.) 

#1. 
Bb                F                  C 
They say a little tear can't hurt an awful lot. 
          Gm7                        C 
But it'll break your heart when it's caused by someone  
F 
who's forgot. 
C                 F     Cm         Bb 
They say a little tear, won't ever go away. 
                Gm7            C                  F 
Til someone who forgot to stay home comes home to stay.

    Bb                       Gm7   F 
I'm countin' my teardrops as they, fall one by one. 
     C                             F       Gm7 F 
Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye-eye-eye. 
    Bb                          F 
I'm countin' my teardrops as I, sit alone and cry. 
              Bb       Gm7       C                F 
And I'll keep countin' teardrops til you're back again. 

#2. 
F                                C 
Things aren't right, my world is at an end. 
       Bb                                  F 
And my dreams have gone to pieces, seems I just can't 

win. 
F                         Cm         Bb 
Since you've been gone, I don't know what I'll do. 
Bb                                    C 
Cause my dreams were all built around dreams that'll never  
     F 
come true.
