Teardrops On My Guitar Lyrics with Chords

[Verse]
[G]Drew looks[Em] at [C]me, I [D]fake a smile so he won’t see
[G]That I [Em]want and I’m [C]needing, [D]everything that we should be
[Em]I’ll bet she’s beautiful, [C]that girl he talks about
[G]And she’s got everything that [D]I have to live without

[G]Drew [Em]talks to [C]me, I [D]laugh cause it’s so funny
[G]That I [Em]can’t even [C]see, [D]anyone when he’s with me
[Em]He says he’s so in love, [C]he’s finally got it right
[G]I wonder if he knows he’s all [D]I think about at night

[Chorus]
[G]He’s the reason for the [D]teardrops on my guitar
[Em]The only thing that keeps me [C]wishing on a wishing star
[G]He’s the song in the [D]car I keep singing, don’t know [Em]why I do [C]

[Verse]
[G]Drew [Em]walks by [C]me, [D]can he tell that I can’t breathe?
[G]And there he [Em]goes so perfect[C]ly
The kind of [D]flawless I wish I could be
[Em]She’d better hold him tight, [C]give him all her love
[G]Look in those beautiful eyes [D]and know she’s lucky ‘cause

[Chorus]
[G]He’s the reason for the [D]teardrops on my guitar
[Em]The only thing that keeps me [C]wishing on a wishing star
[G]He’s the song in the [D]car I keep singing, don’t know [Em]why I do [C]

[Guitar Solo]
[G] [Em] [C] [D]

[Verse]
[Em]So I drive home alone, [C]as I turn out the light
[G]I put his picture down, and [D]maybe get some sleep tonight

[Chorus]
[G]He’s the reason for the [D]teardrops on my guitar
[Em]The only one who’s got [C]enough of me to break my heart
[G]He’s the song in the [D]car I keep singing, don’t know [Em]why I do [C]
He’s the [G]time, taken up, but there’s [D]never enough
And he’s [Em] all that I need to fall [C] into
[G]Drew [Em]looks at [C]me, I [D]fake a smile so he won’t [G]see
