Bell Bottomed Tear Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][B][Em][G][D]

[Verse 1]
This is [D]the dinner
prepared
This is the dress that I made
This is the child I brought up
[B]And this is [G]the wom[Em]an you lai[G]d
This is the [D]woman you laid
This is the perfume I wore
This is the hotel we stayed
This is the way that I lay
[B]And this is the[G] wom[Em]an you[G] laid
This is the [D]woman you [A]laid
We promise ourselves this is
no one- night [F#m]stand[Bb][A]
Let us draw all the curtains
and strike up the [F#m]band[Bb][A]
And I'm thrilled by gentlest touch
of your [F#m]hand w[Bb]e pretend
[A]There's a t[D]ear, there's a tear
Not through confusion through [B]fear,
[Em]through fear[Gm][D]
This is the smile that I wore
This is the song that we played
This is the way that I lay
[B]And this is the wom[Em]an you laid,
[G]this is the wom[D]an you lai[A]d
Next morning our eyes filled
with sleepy re[F#m]gret[Bb][A]
A kiss and goodbye and
a long cigar[F#m]ette[Bb][A]
But the pillow I lay on is cold
and it's [F#m]wet[Bb]
Can't pre[A]tend
It's [D]a tear, it's a tear
Not through confusion, through [B]fear,
[Em]through fear[Gm][D][Am]
And knowing at least that love
came so [D]near[F][Am]
Just adds to the weight of this bell
bottomed [G]tear[D][B][Em][G][D]
[A]
Roll out the red carpets and
[F#m]unplug the phone[Bb][A]
Root out the photos you've
already [F#m]shown[Bb][A]
'cause this is one night you
won't sleep [F#m]alone[Bb]
Just [A]one [F#m]night[A]
There's [D]a tear there's a tear
Not through confusion through [B]fear,
[Em]thro[Gm]ugh fear[D][Am]
And knowing at least that love
came so [D]near[F][Am]
Just adds to the weight of this
bell bottomed [G]tear[D]
There's a tear, there's a tear
[B]Not through confusion, through [Em]fear
[G]Not through confusion, through [D]fear.
