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.
F F When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in Fadd9 And your adolescent dreams are gone F F Through the days you feel a little used up Fadd9 And you don’t know where your energy’s gone wrong F F It’s just your soul feelin’ a little downhearted Fadd9 Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live F F You count your friends all on one finger Fadd9 I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
Chorus:
F G Between a laugh and a tear F Smile in the mirror as you walk by F G Between a laugh and a tear F And that’s as good as it can get for us F G F And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ F F When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you Fadd9 You see through everything and nothin’ seems worthwhile F F And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you Fadd9 And it don’t seem to mean anything to you now F F Just try to live each and every precious moment Fadd9 Don’t be discouraged by the future forget the past F F That’s old advice but it’ll be good to you Fadd9 I know there’s a balance see it when I swing past
Chorus (x2):
F G Between a laugh and a tear F Smile in the mirror as you walk by F G Between a laugh and a tear F And that’s as good as it can get for us F G F And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ F G Between a laugh and a tear F Smile in the mirror as you walk by F G Between a laugh and a tear F And that’s as good as it can get for us F G F And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ F F Fadd9 When paradise can no longer amuse you.....
