Tears Over Beers

• E

This is meant to be played by yourself on acoustic and not to the song, but I guess it 
would work that way too. Please comment if you have any corrections!

capo 2 in standard (E) tuning. 


     B            C#                 E 
When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so, 
     B                C#     E 
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones 
     B          C#              E 
That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears 
     B                          C#           E (N.C.) 
    G/B (N.C.) 
She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three 
F#/B 
more years 

       B               C#        E 
When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so, 
       B            C#              E 
I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones 
     B                  C#        E 
That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty, 
    B              C#       Ab/B      G/B 
     F#/B 
But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away 


           E              F#/B       Ab/B      F#/B 
She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better, 
           E      F#/B       Ab/B     F#/B 
because all I can take is no more. 
     E            F#/B            Ab/B         F#/B 
I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends. 
         E             F#/B          Ab/B         F#/B 
He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me. 

B   C#/B                 E 
    He needed more than me 
    B            C#/B                 E 
I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty, 
    B         C#/B      E 
But he needed more than me." 

       B                  C#/B                 E 
When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so, 
       B                    C#/B                 E 
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones 
     B                  C#/B                   E 
That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town, 
            B                    C#/B 
because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me 
E 
Is grinning as he's checking her out 
         E         F#/B            Ab/B       F#/B 
I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better, 
        E         F#/B       Ab/B     F#/B 
Because all I can take is no more. 
     E                 F#/B                   Ab/B     F#/B 
I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends, 
        E          F#/B       Ab/B      F#/B 
leaking tears over beers once again."
