Am  Dm Em
Am Dm Em G


[Verse 1]
     C              Dm              C           Dm
I've had no use to wear a pair of lashes of mascara
       C                   Dm             C        Dm
And my eyes have natural shadows from the crying (Ooh)
           C              Dm
That I've got so much of lately
            C             Dm
'Cause it really hurt me greatly
        C         Dm             C     Dm
When I found you vowed was only lying (Ooh)


[Pre-Chorus]
         F                  Dm      C
But I'm young, so there's still a chance
          F        Dm    G
For me to find a true romance


[Chorus]
   Am               Dm      Em     C   Dm
So no more tearstained make up for me
Am               Dm      Em            C   Dm
No more tearstained make up, baby, for me

      Em                         Dm
I've made up my mind, I'm gonna get myself together
Em                  Dm
Made up my mind, no use crying forever


[Verse 2]
         C                   Dm
Likе a storm, my tears have rained
             C                 Dm
Sincе your shirt was lipstick-stained
         C                   Dm                C       Dm
And that stains that it contained were not my colour (Colour)
     C                   Dm
No sponge has quite the power
      C                  Dm
To absorb the constant shower
         C                Dm                 C       Dm
Of the tears pancake and powder could never cover (Cover)


[Pre-Chorus]
       F                           C
But today, I see things a little clearer
       F        Dm           G
And I say as I look into my mirror


[Chorus]
Am               Dm      Em     C   Dm
No more tearstained make up for me
Am               Dm      Em            C   Dm
No more tearstained make up, baby, for me

       Em                         Dm
Yes I made up my mind, I'm gonna get myself together
Em                  Dm
Made up my mind, no use crying forever

Am               Dm      Em     C   Dm
No more tearstained make up for me
Am               Dm      Em            C   Dm
No more tearstained make up, baby, for me

Am               Dm      Em     C   Dm
No more, no more, for me (No more tearstained make up for me)
Am               Dm      Em            C   Dm
No, no more (No more tearstained make up for me)
