Standard (EADGBE)
Love endures, it clings away
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times
It's the way the chord's struck with the rhymes
So let your troubles roll by.
He knows he can help himself
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
And someone somewhere loses her son before
Her own sunset is said and done.
And she dreams of sunflowers bentover
Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado
Then plays her life back in slow-motion
To keep in touch with that raw emotion
In the night, crushed empty can
Olive Oil's waiting for her man
To come in from the fight that will change their life
For good this time
Refrain
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by, let your troubles roll
by.
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
but tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day,
Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
An undone war still wages and stings
You fear the year will blow like a breeze through a
Rainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a
Hold, so you sit and cry and wonder why, why?
to Refrain
So many cities and windows and lives and
through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
The day is alive and that's why i cry
It's the New Year's Toast grab your list to conspire,
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
You've come far and though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are cause you know where you've been
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
With nothing of note but the old captain's coat
And a burning boat you sank with your salty
tears dry, let your troubles roll by
When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by
When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by, let your troubles
roll by.
