Tragedy Time (acoustic)(Chords)

	        


Intro  C G Am G F  

verse 1  Am G C F Am G F  

Am 
on the edges of the sharpest knives 
G 
in the middle of the darkest nights 
C 
always knew that i would find you here 
F 
in a puddle of the bravest tears 
Am 
i've seen enough to know 
     G                F 
it's lonely where you are 


PreChorus 1  C F G  

C                     F 
above the crowd, feet dangling 
       G 
from a rooftop 
               C 
she waits from ledges 
      F                 G 
for a voice to talk her down 


Chorus 1  C G Am G F  

and nothing matters but the 
C 
pain when you're alone 
                 G 
the never-ending nights 

when you're awake 
            Am 
when you're praying 
     G              F 
that tomorrow it's ok 

there will be a time to 
C 
crack another smile 
            G 
maybe not today or for awhile 
          Am 
but we're holding on to 
G             F 
laugh again someday 

laugh again someday 


verse 2  Am G C F Am G F  

Am 
all that matters is the time we had 
G 
doesn't matter how it all went bad 
C 
never wonder what it might be like 
F 
shut the door, say goodbye 
Am 
when faced with tragedy 
G                       F 
we come alive or come undone 


PreChorus 2  C F G  

           C 
don't look back 
       F                 G 
let it shape you like an ocean 
         C 
even the deepest scars 
F            G 
in time will fade 


Chorus 2  C G Am G F  


and nothing matters but the 
C 
pain when you're alone 
       G 
or the nights when your awake 
Am             G            F 
praying that tomorrow it's ok 

there will be a time 
   C 
to crack another smile 
            G 
maybe not today or for awhile 
          Am 
but we're holding on 
   G             F 
to laugh again someday 
          Am 
but we're holding on 
   G             F 
to laugh again someday 


Post-Chorus  C F Am G C F G F  

C G 

    C                 F 
sometimes you have to go back 
   Am                       G 
to know just where you have been 
          C 
but we're old enough 
   F 
to know that 
     G 
what has been will be again 
     F 
and again 


Bridge  F G Am C F G  

G Am C F G Am C 

        F          G 
and the bravest of faces 
        Am            C 
are the ones where we fake it 
       F             G 
in the roles that we play 


Chorus 3  C G Am G F  

but nothing matters when 
    C 
the pain is all but gone 
             G 
when you are finally awake 
            Am           G 
despite the overwhelming odds; 
         F 
tomorrow came 

and when they see 
    C 
you crack a smile 
          G 
and you decide to stay awhile 
          Am 
you'll be ready then 
          F 
to laugh again 

nothing matters but the pain 
C 
we are tragedy 
G 
we are sympathy 
Am      G                F 
you see what you want to see 
C 
we are misery 
G 
and distant memories 
Am         G               F 
but we all learn to laugh again
