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 


[Refrão]
 
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
