E A E B7 E


[Verse 1]
E                              A           E
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
                           B7
In my bed while I cry over you.
        E                    A
And the tears in my ears are off the beaten track
                        B7          E
Since you said it's goodbye, we are through.


[Chorus 1]
      A                         E
So if I should get water on the brain
                                       B7
You will know you're the one who is to blame.
E                              A           E
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
                           B7
In my bed while I cry over you.


[Verse 2]
E                              A           E
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
                  B7       E
In my bed while I cry over you.
          E                      A
I've been cryin' these tears and soakin' in my sack
                      B7          E
Since the day I found you were untrue.


[Chorus 2]
       A                     E
And if I don't get up pretty soon
                          B7
I'll turn into a sleepy lagoon
E                              A           E
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
                           B7
In my bed while I cry over you.
 

[Verse 3]
E                              A           E
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
                           B7
In my bed while I cry over you.
          E                A
It's been so many years my sac-ro-il-iac
                          B7                 E
Feels as though it's been soaked through and through.


[Chorus 3]
        A                                E
Oh, you lied when you said we'd take the plunge
                                B7
Now I know how it feels to be a sponge.
E                              A           E
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back
                           B7
In my bed while I cry over you.
