Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won’t see

G

What I want and I need and everything that we should be

Am

I’ll bet she’s beautiful, that girl he talks about

F

And she’s got everything that I have to live without

Verse 2

C

Drew talks to me, I laugh ’cause it’s just so funny

G

That I can’t even see anyone when he’s with me

Am

He says he’s so in love, he’s finally got it right

F

I wonder if he knows he’s all I think about at night

Chorus

F

He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

C

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

G

He’s the song in the car I keep singing, don’t know why I do

F

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light

C

I’ll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight

G

’Cause he’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

F C G

Yeah, he’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

Verse 3

C

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can’t breathe?

G

And there he goes, so perfectly, the kind of flawless I wish I could be

Am

She’d better hold him tight, give him all her love

F

Look in those beautiful eyes and know she’s lucky ’cause

Chorus

F

He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
