                  Dm
And we stare each other down like
victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt
still left behind
        Am               C  G
and we cry the tears of pearls

   Dm
we do it oh we do it

Is love really the tragedy the way
you might describe
Or would a thousand lovers still
leave you cold inside?
Make you cry
These tears of pearls

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

Your kisses are like pearls,
so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
and love has left you bare
Made you cry
These tears of pearls

Well, I could be the tired joker,
pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
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        Bm
love will be the death the death of you

Baby, come on, darlin'
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, yeah

Chorus - x2
