Syrup of Tears - Fear Yourself (2003)

 

Tears fall left and right    

No hope in sight 

Why can’t we syrup     

For sorrow pancakes so flat  

Keep it light forever  

Not realizing my own fate    

It’s great – the weight upon me now

     

Nothing for me nowhere 

But the emptiness I feel     

Depression has got me down   

Drilling for the kill  

     

It’s too late to suffer through    

God, I’ll make you a deal:   

Just let me smile a while – for real.    

     

And when the evening comes   

I’ll be on the run     

You were the only one  

That sure was fun

     

To me it’s never been any better   

And no kind of love has been any greater 

Than you, for me, I can tell 

     

You shone like a sacred goddess in love  

Like a psycho hot as the sun 

Until we meet again, I won’t give up     

     

It’s such a wonder for us – our inner quest    

     

And so it starts 

The alligator when you appeared    

From never forever     

And you smiled on my poor suffering soul 

Blessed child, you are my treasure 

Can’t you see, it’s all an illusion

I love you more than myself  

     

I love you more than myself  

I love you more than myself  

I love you more than myself  

I love you more than myself  

     

And I wish to see you again  

And I wish to see you again  

And I wish to see you again  

And I wish to see you again  

And I wish to see you again  

Syrup of Tears

Chords - thanks to Zack

 

G/B means G chord in the right hand with a B as the left hand bass note.

 

Low C bass note on quarter notes throughout this part.  Right hand plays the chords.

     C   G        F   C  F   C             C   G             F

1   2   3   4  |  1   2 + 3 + 4  |  1   2   3   4    |  1   2   3   4   |

 

Tears fall left and right     

No hope in sight 

Why can’t we syrup     

For sorrow pancakes so flat 

 

 

(Bass notes follow the chords now.  There are two extra beats before this section)

G                                      C      G/B        Am

Keep it light forever   

Not realizing my own fate     

It’s great – the weight upon me now

 

(same as opening)

     

Nothing for me nowhere 

But the emptiness I feel     

Depression has got me down   

Drilling for the kill   

     

It’s too late to suffer through     

God, I’ll make you a deal:   

Just let me smile a while – for real.

And when the evening comes   

I’ll be on the run     

You were the only one   

That sure was fun

You shone like a sacred goddess in love   

Like a psycho hot as the sun 

 

 

(chords here are the same as “And when the evening comes”)

Until we meet again, I won’t give up     

It’s such a wonder for us – our inner quest     

 

(chords here are the same as “To me it’s never been any better…”)

And so it starts 

The alligator when you appeared     

From never forever     

And you smiled on my poor suffering soul 

Blessed child, you are my treasure 

Can’t you see, it’s all an illusion

I love you more than myself   

 

C                     C7

1   2    3    4  |   1   2   3   4  |   (repeat 4 times)   

I love you more than myself   

I love you more than myself   

I love you more than myself   

I love you more than myself   

 

(same chords as opening)     

And I wish to see you again   

And I wish to see you again   

And I wish to see you again   

And I wish to see you again   

And I wish to see you again
