[Intro]
Bm,G, Em
[Verse 1]
BmNow, as you know, it's your time on this Earth
GWhile we're rocking the cradle we're Emriding the hearse
BmWe keep moving upward towards everything free
GAnd kindly look downward and oh, Emyou'll see me
BmI've had six years of luck, I've had Bsix on the line
GI've poured myself out like an Emold bitter wine
BmI've seen much of nothin' and Bnothin's the game
GI've been thrown on my back and I Emdon't know my name
[Chorus]
BmThere's too many tears, Btoo many tears
GToo many people in Emtoo many years
BmSome tears of laughter and Bsome tears of pain
GThat break like a fever and Emfall like rain
[Verse 2]
BmPoints on the map, tears line the way
GI've seen all your pretty things and Emoh, it's a shame
BmThere's been much confusion with too many hurt
GI feel my words dyin' Emdown in the dirt
BmI've had lies in my head, there's been lies in my heart
GI've been tortured by this riddle and I Emdon't know how to start
BmWith a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and my mind, it starts to click
GSo do what you must do and you Embest do it quick
[Chorus]
BmThere's too many tears, Btoo many tears
GToo many people in Emtoo many years
BmSome tears of laughter and Bsome tears of pain
GThat break like a fever and Emfall like rain
     Bm      B     GWhoEma-oh-oh-oh
BmThere's too many tears, Btoo many tearsG  Em  
[Verse 3]
BmDoctor, oh doctor, my world's in your hands
GI feel like I'm dyin' and Emoh, I need a plan
BmSister, sweet sister, there's blood on my lips
GWhy does it feel like this Emwound's doing flips?
BmThe dream's come on time, it's clear, I can tell
GI've seen your work everywhere and there's Emmercy in hell
BmWith a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and again it all comes down
GAnd I see my life merging with these Empoor souls underground
[Final Chorus]
BmThere's too many tears, Btoo many tears
GToo many people in Emtoo many years
BmSome tears of laughter and Bsome tears of pain
GThat break like a fever, Emwhoa-oh-oh-oh
BmThere's too many tears, Btoo many tears
GToo many people in Emtoo many years
BmSome tears of laughter and Bsome tears of pain
GThat break like a fever and Emfall like rain [echoing]

And I see my life merging with these poor souls underground
