for Hannah
[Intro]
Am C F C x2
[Verse]
F C When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in Am G And your adolescent dreams are gone F C Through the days you feel a little used up Am G And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong F C It's just your soul feelin' a little downhearted Am G Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live F G You count your friends all on one finger Am G I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
[Chorus]
F C Between a laugh and a tear Am G Smile in the mirror as you walk by F C Between a laugh and a tear Am And that's as good as it can get for us G F And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
[Interlude]
Am C F C x2
[Verse]
F C When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you Am G You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile F C And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you Am G And it don't seem to mean anything to you now F C Just try to live each and every precious moment Am G Don't be discouraged by the future forget the past F C That's old advise but it'll be good to you Am G I know there's a balance see it when I swing past
[Chorus]
F C Between a laugh and a tear Am G Smile in the mirror as you walk by F C Between a laugh and a tear Am And that's as good as it can get for us G F And there ain't no reason to stop tryin' C Between a laugh and a tear Am G Smile in the mirror as you walk by F C Between a laugh and a tear Am G And that's as good as it can get for us F And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
[Interlude]
C Am G
[Outro]
F C When paradise can no longer amuse you
