My first tab -- I'm fairly new to this -- but it's a good jump-off point. Not too
with how long the C is held before moving to Cadd9, but play around and find what you like.
G C When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in Cadd9 And your adolescent dreams are gone G C Through the days you feel a little used up Cadd9 And you don’t know where your energy’s gone wrong G C It’s just your soul feelin’ a little downhearted Cadd9 Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live G C You count your friends all on one finger Cadd9 I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
Chorus:
G D Between a laugh and a tear C Smile in the mirror as you walk by G D Between a laugh and a tear C And that’s as good as it can get for us G D C And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ G C When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you Cadd9 You see through everything and nothin’ seems worthwhile G C And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you Cadd9 And it don’t seem to mean anything to you now G C Just try to live each and every precious moment Cadd9 Don’t be discouraged by the future forget the past G C That’s old advice but it’ll be good to you Cadd9 I know there’s a balance see it when I swing past
Chorus (x2):
G D Between a laugh and a tear C Smile in the mirror as you walk by G D Between a laugh and a tear C And that’s as good as it can get for us G D C And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ G D Between a laugh and a tear C Smile in the mirror as you walk by G D Between a laugh and a tear C And that’s as good as it can get for us G D C And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ G C Cadd9 When paradise can no longer amuse you.....
