[Verse 1]
D
I started out to be the man behind the scenes
G
Knowing I was in above my head
D
For all that I could see I never saw the truth.
        G
Now I'm alone.
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm                             A
Heaven only knows how much I'm missing you,
Bm                         A
Knowing I had heaven in my hands.
 
[Chorus 1]
                  Bm
And there will be tears,
A                          G6
      Tears are mixed with rain.
A                  Bm
      Keeper of my flame.
                 A
Time and tide is on my side,
                 G6
It stands forever.  There will be nights of love
     A                  D
And, yes, there will be tears.

I will not sleep tonight.
              D
There will be tears.
 
[Verse 2]
D
The silent telephone, the turning of the key.
G
You're still inside of me, I'm not ashamed.
D
For all that I can do, I can't forget your face.
            G
I call your name.
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm                                A
Heaven only knows what I've been crying for, what I'm crying for.
Bm                                  A
And all I've done to keep this love alive.
 
[Chorus 2]
                Bm
Even through my tears,
A                          G6
      Tears are mixed with rain.
A                  Bm
      Keeper of my flame.
                   A
I will pray you're on my side,
                 G6
We stand forever.   There will be nights of love
     A                  D
And, yes, there will be tears.
