                Mercury/Polygram Records 822545-2

        Formerly tabbed by Rob Goggins .
Some slight inaccuracies, but it was a good tab nonetheless. (Do we

Progression:

[Riff 1] x2

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

All of the seasons and all of the days.
All of the reasons why I felt this way.

[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

So long, so long.

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

Then lost in that feeling, I looked in your eyes.
I noticed emotion and that you had cried.

[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

For me, I can see.

Dm                     CaddD     G                   A
   What would touch me deeper? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm                     CaddD        G                   A
   Would it touch you deeper than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

[Riff 1] x2
[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek.
I tasted the answers and my body was weak -

[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

For you, the truth.

Dm                     CaddD     G                   A
   What would touch me deeper? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm                     CaddD        G                   A
   Would it touch you deeper than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
