Intro: B,G, Em
verse 1
B
Now, as you know, it's your time on this Earth
G Em
While we're rocking the cradle we're riding the hearse
B
We keep moving upward towards everything free
G Em
And kindly look downward and oh, you'll see me
B
I've had six years of luck, I've had six on the line
G Em
I've poured myself out like an old bitter wine
B
I've seen much of nothin' and nothin's the game
G Em
I've been thrown on my back and I don't know my name
B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever and fall like rain
verse 2
B
Points on the map, tears line the way
G Em
I've seen all your pretty things and oh, it's a shame
B
There's been much confusion with too many hurt
G Em
I feel my words dyin' down in the dirt
B
I've had lies in my head, there's been lies in my heart
G Em
I've been tortured by this riddle and I don't know how to start
B
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and my mind, it starts to click
G Em
So do what you must do and you best do it quick
B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever and fall like rain
B G Em
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
B G Em
There's too many tears, too many tears
verse 3
B
Doctor, oh doctor, my world's in your hands
G Em
I feel like I'm dyin' and oh, I need a plan
B
Sister, sweet sister, there's blood on my lips
G Em
Why does it feel like this wound's doing flips?
B
The dream's come on time, it's clear, I can tell
G Em
I've seen your work everywhere and there's mercy in hell
B
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and again it all comes down
G Em
And I see my life merging with these poor souls underground
B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever, whoa-oh-oh-oh
B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever and fall like rain echoing

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
B G Em
There's too many tears, too many tears
