* They keep on coming through the night
** And they could be his epitaph
[INTRO]
F Dm Am Cadd9 x4
[VERSE 1]
F G Am Cadd9
See the tears run down her face
F Em F G
Unhappy in her happy place

She’s trying hard to let him go
She goes

F G Am Cadd9
Falling gently they begin
F Em F G
Soft and salty on her skin
Am G C Cadd9
She keeps them coming through the night*
F C G
If only I could make it right
F G Am Cadd9
But she doesn’t want these tears to stop
F C F G
She’d rather he were there than not
Am G C Cadd9
And they can be his epitaph**
F C G
And if she didn’t cry she’d laugh
She’d laugh
[INSTRUMENTAL]
