Dm                   Am 
You called for me so here I am  
Dm              Am 
Not a boy and not a man  
Gm            Dm                 Gm        Am 
Man enough to know the odds are long  
Dm                     Am 
They dress you up and keep you clean 
Dm               Am 
Like courtiers around a queen 
Gm                  Dm                Am7/5- 
Show you good from bad, right from wrong  

Ab        Gm              Fm 
All the tears in the world 
Ab        Gm              Fm 
All the tears in the world 
                     Cm   Bbm    Dm 
Won't mend a broken doll 
Dm                   Am 
The little things in life escape her 
Dm                 Am 
Dolls are made of rags and paper 
Gm                Dm             Gm          Am 
China cracks and chips so easily 
Dm                Am 
Doesn't have the will, the strength 
Dm                    Am 
To hold the world out at arm's length 
Gm                 Dm                Am7/5- 
Skin's too thin, eyes too wide to see 

Ab        Gm              Fm 
All the tears in the world 
Ab        Gm              Fm 
All the tears in the world 
                        Cm   Bbm     
Won't mend a broken doll 

Bbm  Fm  Bbm  Fm  Ebm  Bbm  Ebm  Fm

Dm                 Am 
Wish I could give love to you 
Dm                   Am 
And life to you and hope to you 
Gm                  Dm               Gm          Am 
As you look through me to something else 
Dm              Am 
In your face I think I see 
Dm            Am 
Twisted-up infinity 
Gm           Dm                Am7/5- 
Angel soul imprisoned in a shell 

Ab        Gm              Fm 
All the tears in the world 
Ab        Gm              Fm 
All the tears in the world 
                      Cm   Bbm    Dm 
Won't mend a broken doll
