intro: Dm (x4) *

                   Dm                     Dm
and we stare each other down like victims in the grind
        Dm                              Dm
probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind
       Am               C  G      *
and we cry the tears of pearls we do it oh we do it
          Dm                           Dm
is love really the tragedy the way you might describe
           Dm                              Dm
or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside
         Am                 C   G
make you cry these tears of pearls

chorus:
     Bm               D               Em               G
     all these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
     Bm             D               Em               G
     stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world

                Dm                           Dm
your kisses are like pearls so different and so rare
          Dm                                      Dm
but anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare
         Am                 C  G
made you cry these tears of pearls
                    Dm                           Dm
well i could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in
          Dm                   Dm
sacrifice my happiness just so i could win
      Am                 C  G
maybe cry these tears of pearls

(chorus)

   Bm
we twist and turn where angels burn
     Em
like fallen soldiers we will learn
     Bm
that once forgotten twice removed
Em                               G      A
love will be the death the death of you

solo: Bm D Em G (x2?)
