Between A Laugh And A Tear(Keyboard chords)

	        

Asus2                                 E 
With paradise no longer fit for you to live in 
C#m             Bsus2 
Your adolescent dreams are gone  
Asus2                               E 
Through the days you feel a little used up 
C#m                         Bsus2 
Don't know where your energy's gone wrong 
Asus2                          E 
Just your soul feeling a little downhearted 
C#m                            Bsus2 
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live 
Asus2                         E 
Count your friends all on one finger 
C#m                                             Bsus2   (x24422) 
I know it sounds crazy, it's just the way that we live    


...until the 'energy's gone wrong' line and then the muted turns into 

 

End with an x24422 with the 'we live'/'swing past' lines 


          Asus2       E 
Between a laugh and a tear 
C#m                    Bsus2 
Smile in the mirror as you walk by 
          Asus2       E 
Between a laugh and a tear 
          C#m                             Bsus2                        Asus2 
That's as good as it gets for us but that ain't no reason to stop trying 

The 'solo' is played as...
