Verse 1:
        E                D/E
Did you see the first man on the moon?
         A/E                    E
Have you seen the first light of day?
          F#m              E/G#
When there wasn't someone stuck inside
G
Something like the moon
D/F#                         E    D/E   E
Something like a star that's lost its way

       E            D/E
Did you go to Dallas on that day?
        A/E                         E
Have you been to where they broke a dream?
           F#m           E/G#
Where there really isn't room for doubt?
G
Somehow we got lost
       D/F#                       E      D/E   E
And the truth is buried somewhere in between


Chorus:
   A          D
And everyone, everywhere
    G                    A
Take time and dry your eyes
        C#m             F#m
Because too many tears, too many tears
          E  D/E  E
Have been cried
     A              D
Just look into that beautiful blue
G                         A
That beautiful blue, blue sky
    C#m           F#m             E
And know too many tears, too many tears
D          A
Have been cried


Verse 2:
    E                   D/E
The mystery of why they had to leave
         A/E                     E
I'm only one of thousands saying why
      F#m                  D#/G#
Why a balcony in Memphis, Tennessee
      G
Seems trapped in time
       D/F#                  E        D/E  E
Just an angry finger pointing at the sky
          E               D/E
Would you wait to stand inside his shoes?
          A/E                   E
And is the best all you have to give
    F#m                  D#/G#
The barefoot man lived a simple life
  G
I guess he knew
    D/F#                E              D/E  E
Somethings die so other things might live


Chorus:
   A          D
And everyone, everywhere
    G                    A
Take time and dry your eyes
        C#m             F#m
Because too many tears, too many tears
          E  D/E  E
Have been cried
     A              D
Just look into that beautiful blue
G                         A
That beautiful blue, blue sky
    C#m           F#m             E
And know too many tears, too many tears
D          A
Have been cried
