As recorded by O.A.R. (From the 2005 Album STORIES OF A STRANGER) [Verse 1]
       Em
It's a tragedy in waiting

     D
When something's on my mind

         Em                          D   Em  D  Em  D
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
[Verse 2]
       Em
It's a tragedy in waiting

             D
When there's something on my mind

         Em                          D
And it's hard enough for me to carry on

        Em
Call it pleasure if you like

    D
But believe me when I say

       Em                           D
A busy mind will learn to change it all
[Pre-Chorus]
     Em                          D
It's not like I'm asking for the world to fall apart

  Em                           G
I know that it's eventually to come (whoa)
[Chorus]
D   G              Bm
Sometimes we might fall

G
Stand up taller

D   G         Bm
Someday we may

                A
Graduate into a perfect state--

          Em            D  Em  D
A perfect state of mind
[Verse 2]
         Em                           D
Have you ever left your suitcase open long after you land

           Em                              D
And you're scared to fold away all of your clothes?

  Em                      D
Destiny may wait, but the present day's at hand

            Em                         D
They forgot to tell me how to end this show
[Pre-Chorus]
         Em
Could it be that I'm the one

            D
Who tied my hands behind my back?

  Em                          G
I know that it is possible by now (whoa)
[Chorus]
D   G              Bm
Sometimes we might fall

G
Stand up taller

D   G         Bm
Someday we may

                A
Graduate into a perfect state--

          Em            D  A
A perfect state of mind
[Bridge]
Bm         D              A                          Bm
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me

           D              A                          G                   
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me

           A              D                 
I've got a mind that wanders

       E              G                   
Off in search of something

        A              
And I'm gonna get there
[Chorus]
D   G              Bm
Sometimes we might fall

G
Stand up taller

D   G          Bm    A          
Someday we may fall away

D   G             Bm       
Sometime we might crawl

G               
Stand up taller

D   G          Bm              A                   
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state--

A                       
A perfect state of mind
