Save Your Tears In A Shot Glass
© 2003, Larry Mofle

Capo 3
            D
You’ve been waiting for me to come home
      G 
And I haven’t shown up yet
     A
It’s 4 AM, well don’t you think
                       D
I’m ain’t comin’ home again
      D 
After years of hearing how I am 
   G         G/F#    E7
So cruel and mean to you
    D                A
And maybe now you’ll figure out
     G           A     D
Just what you’re gonna do

Chorus:
             D
So save your tears in a shot glass
              G
And wear your heart on your sleeve
         A
The only memory of me will be
                            D
Broken dreams and shattered things
    D
And you’ll recall the hurt I’ve caused
       G         G/F#    E7
By the hole torn in your heart
    D                A 
And maybe now, dear, you will see 
     G       A      D
I’ve finally gotten smart


For years and years I listened to
Your nagging and your tears
And put up with the phone calls
That kept me wrapped in fear
I guess that you could say this is
The payment that you’re due
For treating me like your doormat
Crushed by your worn out shoe

Chorus
