Lyrics

Don’t I know it;

(Bb)no bod y has to say.

I’ve been luck y;

(Bb)guess I was born that (F)way.

I thank my fa ther;

his (Bb)ab sen ces made me (F)strong.

And I love my moth er,

but she had trou bles with God.

No (Eb)tears

for the life that you’ve led; you’ve had an gels (Dm7)in your head.

(Cm7)Did you hear them (D7)sing ing in the end?

All the things that you’ve seen,

all the things that (Dm7)could have been,

well, (Cm7)I’ve been ev ’ry (D7)thing I want to be.

So no (Eb)tears,

no (Cm)tears

for me.

Yeah, I’ve bathed in sun shine,

but (Bb)cher ished the fad ing (F)light.

And I heard my heart beat fal ter on a win ter’s (F)night.

I loved a wom an,

but (Bb)she did n’t hear my (F)prayers.

So Lord,

oh Lord,

I’m (F)yours.

No (Eb)tears
