Tipjars And Teardrops

They say that music calms the savage beast
And helps a heartache settle down
That s what I need tonight to sooth me
And dull her memory when it comes around

Tipjars and teardrops
Sad songs for lonely hearts
A temporary cure for the blues I got
I get loose when I hear guitars but then the music stops
And all that s left is tipjars and teardrops

She used to fill my heart with melody
Lovin words I d never heard before
Now without her I m in quiet misery
And I can t take this silence anymore

Chorus

I get loose when I hear guitars but then the music stops
And all that s left is tipjars and teardrops
