A                       D  
Love endures, it clings away 
A                               D         
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
A                                   D 
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times
A                                        D
It's the way the chord's struck with the rhymes
D
So let your troubles roll by.


A
He knows he can help himself
D
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
A
And someone somewhere loses her son before 
D
Her own sunset is said and done.
A
And she dreams of sunflowers bentover
D
Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado
A
Then plays her life back in slow-motion
D
To keep in touch with that raw emotion
A
In the night, crushed empty can
D
Olive Oil's waiting for her man
A
To come in from the fight that will change their life
D
For good this time

                 A                                 D
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
                 A                                 D
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
                 A                                 D
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by, let your troubles roll 
    A     D
by. 


A
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
D
but tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day,
A
Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
D
An undone war still wages and stings
A
You fear the year will blow like a breeze through a
D
Rainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a 
A                                   D
Hold, so you sit and cry and wonder why, why?


to Refrain


A
So many cities and windows and lives and
D
through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
A
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
D
The day is alive and that's why i cry
A
It's the New Year's Toast grab your list to conspire,
D
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
A
You've come far and though you're far from the end
D
You don't mind where you are cause you know where you've been
A
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
D
like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
A
With nothing of note but the old captain's coat
D
And a burning boat you sank with your salty

A                                 D

When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by
                      A                                D
When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by, let your troubles
