[Intro]
Bm,G, Em
[Verse 1]
Bm
Now, as you know, it's your time on this Earth
G Em
While we're rocking the cradle we're riding the hearse
Bm
We keep moving upward towards everything free
G Em
And kindly look downward and oh, you'll see me
Bm 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
Bm 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
[Chorus]
Bm B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
Bm B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever and fall like rain
[Verse 2]
Bm
Points on the map, tears line the way
G Em
I've seen all your pretty things and oh, it's a shame
Bm
There's been much confusion with too many hurt
G Em
I feel my words dyin' down in the dirt
Bm
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
Bm
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
[Chorus]
Bm B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
Bm B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever and fall like rain
Bm B G Em
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Bm B G Em
There's too many tears, too many tears
[Verse 3]
Bm
Doctor, oh doctor, my world's in your hands
G Em
I feel like I'm dyin' and oh, I need a plan
Bm
Sister, sweet sister, there's blood on my lips
G Em
Why does it feel like this wound's doing flips?
Bm
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
Bm
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
[Final Chorus]
Bm B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
Bm B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Bm B
There's too many tears, too many tears
G Em
Too many people in too many years
Bm B
Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain
G Em
That break like a fever and fall like rain [echoing]
Bm B G Em
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Bm B G Em
There's too many tears, too many tears
[Outro]
Bm G Em
(There's too many tears, too many tears)
Bm G Em
And fall like rain

(There's too many tears, too many tears)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(That break like a fever and fall like rain)
