INTRO: D G A G D   VERSE 1
     D                                                  G
You told me you don't love me when you walked out the door
   A7                                                  D
I stood there feelin' lonely then the tears began to  pour
                                 D7                G
What else could I do, I'd never felt like that  before
      A7                                            D
So I cried an ol' blue river in the middle of the  floor
CHORUS
                          G
Now I'm up to my ears in tears
     A7                                   D
I'm cryin' night and day since you went  away
                                   D7          G
The things you  used to say Honey, I no longer hear
     A7
That  water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you  dear
                  D
Up to my ears in tears.
VERSE  2
                                                        G
Well, I found some old love letters you wrote me years  ago
         A7                                              D
But the words all ran together when the tears began to  flow
                                            D7               G
Cause you left that water runnin' now it's got no where to  go
            A7                                               D
If I can't wash away your mem'ry, guess I'll just go under  slow   REPEAT CHORUS
    A7
The  water's cold and clear I'm drownin' for you  dear
                   D
Up to my ears in tears
