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