Intro:
Em-Em-D-Em-(Break)
I Want My Tears Back!
Instrumental:
Verse 1:
The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories,
winter grey, wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat
a railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings.
Chorus:
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
were the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare.
Chorus 2:
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me,
I wish to see the lost in me.
Post-Chorus:
I Want My Tears Back!
I want my tears back now!
Instrumental:
Verse 2:
A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone.
A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa.
Chorus:
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there
were the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare.
Chorus 2:
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me,
I wish to see the lost in me. (2x)
Post-Chorus:
I Want My Tears Back!
I want my tears back now!
(Interlude)

Repeat Chorus 2 (2x):
Where is the wonder? Where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me,
I wish to see the lost in me.

I Want My Tears Back!
Em-Em-Am C D (Break)
I want my tears back now!
