Bell-bottomed Tear

												
G
This is the dinner prepared
            Gmaj7
This is the dress that I made
             G7
This is the child I brought up
E7               Am
And this is the woman you laid
C             G
This is the woman you laid

               G
This is the perfume I wore
            Gmaj7
This is the hotel we stayed
            G7
This is the way that I lay
E7               Am
And this is the woman you laid
C             G
This is the woman you laid

D                         Bm     D#
We promised ourselves this is no one-night stand
D                             Bm     D#
Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band
D                             Bm     D#
And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand
     D7
We pretend

           G              Gmaj7
There's a tear, there's a tear
G7                   E7 Am         Cm G
Not through confusion through fear, through fear

              G
This is the smile that I wore
           Gmaj7
This is the song that we played
            G7
This is the way that I lay
E7               Am
And this is the woman you laid
C             G
This is the woman you laid

D                        Bm     D#
Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret
D                        Bm     D#
A kiss and good-bye and a long cigarette
D                      Bm     D#
But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet
        D7
Can't pretend

        G           Gmaj7
It's a tear, it's a tear
G7                  E7 Am          Cm G
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
Dm                    G     A#
And knowing at least that love came so near
Dm                          C  G
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G

D                      Bm     D#
Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone
D                          Bm     D#
Root out the photos you've already shown
D                  Bm     D#
'Cos this one night you won't sleep alone
          D7
Just one night

        G           Gmaj7
It's a tear, it's a tear
G7                  E7 Am          Cm G
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
Dm                    G     A#
And knowing at least that love came so near
Dm                          C  G
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G

           G              Gmaj7
There's a tear, there's a tear
G7                  E7 Am          Cm G
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
G7                  E7 Am          Cm G
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
