Bayside – Dear Tragedy (Guitar)

Bm                        A
I'm never waking up again so I'll never have to find out what you did

G
Each day it's harder to pretend

          F#m
That your eyes aren't lying as much as your mouth did

Bm
I'd grab your head by your hair and I'd hack it off

A
And put it on display at the front of the yard

G
On a stick that's decorated with a little pink bow and a sign that says

     F#m                                       D                 B Bm A E
"Her friends and family should have taught her more about love."

           G Bb A D
Dear Tragedy,

                Bm
I never had anybody

                       E                       A
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed

      Bm
With a breath taker,

A
A smile faker

D                                    A
These years alone have eaten me alive

Bm
Recounting pages in a book

      A
That I'd torn out ashamed that one day you'd look

G
Afraid that once you did you'd really know how it felt

                     F#m                                             Bm
To be a sucker on a string that you dragged around wherever you'd go

                                      A
I'm running around, around and it hurts

A
Tempted to tape up the pages I'd ripped

    G
And although I recognize that we're attached at the lips,

                 F#m                                                     D
You're the one in charge and that the captain's gotta sink with the ship

                Bm
I never had anybody

Bm                     E                       A
But being alone wasn't half as bad as being obsessed

      Bm
With a breath taker,

A
A smile faker

D                                    A
These years alone have eaten me alive

Em           G Bb A D

D
Breath taker,

Bm
Smile faker,

            Em                 A
How could I have let you in my life?

You're a breath taker,
